title: Discussing smart pills versus endorsing smart pills: reply to Swanson, Wigal, and Volkow (2011) and Elliott and Elliott (2011).
abstract: We find much of interest, and little to disagree with, in the commentaries on our article. We take issue only with the suggestion that our article was provocative and submit that the attempt to understand the use of stimulants as smart pills does not imply an endorsement of the practice.
