English: Used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years, Ginkgo is commonly claimed to produce a range of nootropic effects. I found that it induced a mild but distinct buzz along with a certain clarity, and a strange edge, but as is often the case with this class, it was difficult to measure in terms of actual nootropic value. However, it was certainly psychoactive, albeit not particularly exciting. I should also note that this can produce a number of adverse side effects, and should be avoided by anyone with allergic reactions to alkylphenol producing plants. Ref: www.DrugUsersBible.com
