> less toxic than caffeine[0], and possibly even less addictive[1]

That might be true but Modafinil is very dangerous compared to coffee.

It does cause accidents for instance.

Throw in alcohol that scene in Limitless becomes quite true.

Being less toxic and less addictive is meaningless comparing to something like coffee.
