Brave new world? Aldous Huxley and psychotropic drugs

Brave new world? Aldous Huxley and psychotropic drugs | Beckley News : Cannabis - Marijuana | Scoop.it
By Richard J. Miller Today is the 50th anniversary of the death of the author Aldous Huxley.
Beckley Foundation's insight:

Huxley once said, “Pharmacology came before agriculture.”

 

Now that it has been 50 years since Huxley’s death, one wonders what he would think about the status of psychotropic drugs these days. Apart from a few psychotropic drugs like caffeine, virtually all the others, including drugs like alcohol, hallucinogens, cannabis, psychostimulants, and opiates, are subject to legal controls of one kind or another. This raises certain questions. First of all, should we have laws regulating the use of these drugs and, if so, do the laws that we have make any sense?
