Ordinary Banana

I read the claim recently that compounds used recreationally are unusually likely to have therapeutic effects compared to random chemical

it seems uncontroversial but I can’t find the source or any attempt at quantifying - anyone remember what I’m talking about?

they’re including drugs used by human communities throughout the world including psychedelics not just what we’d call “recreational”

I’m never gonna find it again huh

I think the actual explanation is something like this: 1. Druggies are trying to feel good specifically (positive affect, interestingness)
