Veterinarians.
Last time I checked we were talking about antidepressants for homo sapiens.
Sure the LD50 for rats is more than Sevin, but so what?
"Party drugs".Enough said. One chooses to experiment, one takes the consequences. I'm not demonizing the user, I don't really care about 'soft' drugs like marijuana, but uncontrolled use of hard drugs on people, especially those who haven't fully developed their bodies (some people don't mature until around 21 or 22) is rather scary and what is the point of potentially going to the hospital even if you won't be killed with xx grams of Ketamine.
Erowid is filled with lots of stories, many of which don't even use one substance -- I mean what is the point of combining four or five controlled substances and then reporting on how you tripped out for 3 days.And yes I know that acetaminophen/paracetamol is very toxic not that much beyond a therapeutic window. But its all we have for true fever reduction in those under about 18-21 (Reyes syndrome...) besides aspirin. Ibuprofen and its many derivatives don't hit that part of the body very well.
Psychoactive substances would be the term for prescription drugs. Psychadelic substances semantically says something else...
I have no problem with research and development, but this doesn't include the rave scene, the last time I checked with the FDA and researchers.
