Drug prohibition is a crime against humanity. It is the outlawing of our right to take care of our own health.
Drugs that sharpen the mind should be thoroughly investigated for their potential to help dementia victims. Instead, we prefer to demonize these drugs as useless. That's anti-scientific and anti-patient.
