A pill that could prevent racism?

[Help?!?!]

"Hey Joe whats the new pills for bud?"
"Ahh there just because I hate those n..I mean because I have issues with racial discrimination...."
"Hey I forgot to say.....that....I....need to.....leave!"

This shit is sad but so are people. Like someone else said now a days theres a chemical for all your woes which is obviously the correct choice to make over therapy that could actually help find the root of the problem and fix it.

Yes.
As determined by the individual, not some doctor, and not some bureaucrat.

i.e. informed consent? One may wish to consult a doctor and/or pharmacist first, as part of being informed as to the possible adverse effects?

But bureaucrats, I agree have little to no place, except perhaps making and enforcing regulations to ensure the drug is manufactured properly.

^ Certainly a valid choice to get a doctor's knowledge. Useful, too.
But the ultimate choice of whether to take / continue / stop taking a chemical should rest with the individual.

100% agreed on that... I personally find the involuntary administration of drugs to psych patients disgusting for exactly that reason. I was just saying a physician and a pharmacist might provide useful info on how to use the drug for minimum harm and maximum benefit, being that they are highly educated in such matters.

I think propanolol would be a bad thing to take for reducing racism... at least personally, it makes me far too sedated and dizzy to be an effective person if I was always like that... I wonder if a more selective drug could be made that would have less effect on level of consciousness and with less PNS effects such as weakness.
