My friend used to call me when she was 'high' and it was impossible to have a normal conversation with her. She is close to finishing her PhD now; apparently the "natural" drugs didn't have an effect on her brain but I still don't believe her lifestyle is great. However, if the drug has a positive effect on people with certain illnesses (meaning it makes pain more bearable) I don't see why it can't be used to treat these people. There are many drugs on the market, such as pain killers, that get people addicted and affects them in a way that they can't function normally w/o the drug.</blockquote>
