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

this is also related to the thing where pharmaceutical companies want to get similar actions as Illegal Drug Molecules whilst not using the exact same molecules so they have to tinker and end up getting something shitty and not as effective and sometimes the clinical trials kill.

"The same thing but not addictive" (i.e. with orders of magnitude worse side effects)
