    All have risks. You can overdose on opioids, and some individuals can't tolerate them. I agree with you about the danger of addiction and withdrawal. I think that medication, that treats psychiatric problems, help some people. On the other hand, they sometimes make bad situations worse. It depends on the person's own biochemistry. I think that they're overprescribed by lazy doctors beholden to pharmaceutical companies. Feel depressed because your spouse left you? Pop one of our pills. By the way, it might cause suicidal ideation.

    Obviously not.

    Crick stated several times when he was alive that the structure of DNA(famous double helix shape) came to him during an LSD trip. Crick and many other Cambridge academics at the time also micro dosed LSD as a thinking tool.
