I don't think that's true. Most people knew smoking was bad for you long before the medical establish said so, ditto for opiates. The only folks who "don't know what they are getting into", are recreational users lying to themselves. That's no reason to dismiss a whole class of drugs that could potentially help people.
- mwattsun 5y agoI'd be the last person to dismiss the benefits, but as the old adage goes "all things in moderation" and there's also no reason to dismiss long-term effects because you did a small study. You could run this study exactly as is except with low doses of alcohol and also find there are no short of long-term detrimental effects.
