it can't be helped. the brain is really damn complicated and we don't really know how it works yet. my understanding of the situation is that we don't know why psych meds do/don't work and we are basically taking wild shots in the dark atm

my understanding of the situation is anything that works is automatically illegal because of drug war

i do think it would be good to do further study on drugs we have outlawed, perhaps overly hastily. but just because something makes you "feel good" in the short term doesn't necessarily mean it's good for you in the long term. that goes for drugs that are both legal and illegal
