Opiates are incredibly effective at treating debilitating pain. Not headaches, not toothaches, but overwhelming “please just kill me” pain. I take adderall with a prescription but I am not going to pretend that my psychological needs are somehow more worthy of medication than another’s pain.
You want to get real angry? Cannabis and psilocybin are both schedule I drugs while cocaine is schedule II. I know cocaine has medical uses and is unfairly maligned, but still.
