I'm finding that prohibited substances are much more effective when used in a medicinal context than their legal counterparts. I've been extensively studying this, and it seems that things like MDMA really can cure post traumatic stress disorder, without the nasty side effects that anti-depressants have. I've been reading about psilocybin mushrooms and ketamine to send OCD in remission for months at a time, methamphetamine to treat ADHD with added euphoria instead of emotional numbing, LSD to actually overcome depression and provide relief to terminally ill patients, heroin being healthier than prescription painkillers, and many MANY other examples.
It seems if you have for example depression, you can take something like an SSRI and feel nothing, or smoke some weed and actually feel happy. Could it be that these massive pharmaceutical corporations have bought off politicians and scientists to exaggerate the risks of controlled substances, thus leading to criminalization, meanwhile downplaying the negative effects of their own products? If some of these "street drugs" are actually much more effective at treating, possibly even curing, mental and physical health problems, wouldn't that cause a significant decrease in the billions made annually by the corporations that produce these "legal" drugs?
It just seems too strange that I've been noticing a significant amount of people self-medicating with illegal drugs and getting better results than the legal, OTC or prescription products.
I mean, who knows, maybe some research chemicals actually permanently cure mental illnesses like schizophrenia with a certain dose over a certain period of time, and this truth is not being investigated because of this greed?
I'm not saying this is the case, I just find it really strange that so little research goes into these drugs. They are just written off as terrible evil with no redeeming factors, and even when a research grant is given, the information gained is quickly buried.
Why is this?
