Forty plus years ago, I was one of the first
generation of undergraduates in the nation
to be enrolled in a neuroscience program.
I was lucky enough to have Bart Hoebel,
the scientist who charted the dopamine
pathway in the human brain, as a professor.
Forty years ago, he told us quite clearly
that to alter brain chemistry with pharmaceutical
drugs was a very bad and very dangerous idea.
Now, every idiot school teacher feels qualified
to prescribe amphetamines (that’s what Adderall
is) to fidgety eight year old boys. And that’s
only the tip of the Big Pharma psychoactive
apocalypse.
Here’s the bottom line: The “scientific” basis
for all these drugs was based on total
garbage science from Day One and “science”
is only just figuring it out now.
Pathetic!
