I don't know if that's contrarian really. It's just your basic "My Favorite Band was way better before they got super popular had to go mainstream".
And my take is that that argument should probably stick to fashion and cultural issues and stay out of medical discussions.
- pasquinelli 7y agoIs it that, or could it be reasonable anxiety about powerful substances becoming an avenue for corporate profit? Opioids are a useful class of drugs, but they've been managed by the profit motive and that's caused havoc that's killed thousands and may leave people who should be on them in terrible pain because of an over correction.
- spats1990 7y agoThat's a valid concern, but psychedelics aren't really physically addictive the way opiates are. And given the possible use cases described by e.g. Michael Pollan, it's hard to imagine them being heavily overprescribed by doctors, if they ever even reach the stage of being a generally prescribable drug at all.
