Study of psilocybin as treatment of depression halted by drug laws

[Warren DeMontague]

11. The best advertisement against meth is meth users themselves.

And I think there are a few factors in the meth epidemic which are oft-overlooked, not the least of which its popularity in places where the traditional "drug war", particularly against pot, has been successful. (Sort of like with the bath salts)... another is the low-income dynamics of meth and communities with low-paying, dead end jobs, no health care, no benefits, etc.

When someone is trying to make ends meet by working 3 min. wage jobs, one at the all night mini mart, is it really that surprising when they turn to something like meth to keep themselves going? And they're not doing it for the "buzz", they're doing it to function, however briefly that's going to work for them.
