Her følger lærerike og spennende videoer og artikler som tar for seg ny forskning på narkotika - både med hensyn på skadelighet, og bruk til medisinsk og terapautisk nytte.
Horizon: Britain's Most Dangerous Drug - Februar 2008
"Recent research has analyzed the link between the harmful effects of drugs relative to their current classification by law with some startling conclusions. Perhaps most startling of all is that alcohol, solvents and tobacco (all unclassified drugs) are rated more dangerous than ecstasy, 4-MTA and LSD (all class A drugs). If the current ABC system is retained, alcohol would be rated a class A drug and tobacco class B."

Peter Jennings - Ecstasy Rising - April, 2004
"The rise of Ecstasy is a major event in drug history. If current trends continue, 1.8 million Americans will try Ecstasy for the first time in 2004; only marijuana will attract more new users. Overwhelming, positive word of mouth has made Ecstasy a nightmare for drug controllers."

Ibogaine - Rite of Passage - 2004
"Ibogaine is a substance that is derived from the root of an African plant that grows in Gabon. This plant is originally used during initiations of the Bwiti culture, but in the sixties the anti-addictive properties of this psychoactive substance were discovered by Howard Lotsof. Ibogaine is surrounded by controversy. The decisions about the use of Ibogaine in the treatment of addiction appear to be made on political and economical, rather than rational basis. "

Scientific American Mind: Psycedelic Healing? - Desember, 2007
"Mid-altering psycedelics are back - but this time they are being explored in labs for their therapeutic applications rather than being used illigaly. Studies are looking at these hallucinogens to treat a number of otherwise intractable psychiatric disorders, including chronic depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and drug or alcohol dependency."

En oppdatering! Og den er nærmest et svar på min forige kommentar. Jeg er imponert.
Mye bra informasjon her, som bekrefter den dårlige sammenhengen mellom lovlighet og farlighet når det gjelder rusmiddler. Selv om lette stoffer som ecstacy og cannabis på ingen måte er problemfrie, er både alkohol og tobakk vel så farlige, om ikke farligere.
Heroin og kokain som så varmt blir forsvart i det forige innlegget bør man derimot holde seg unna...
