The Science and Politics of Mind-Altering Drugs | Disinformation

Nutt makes some valid arguments especially in regards as to the limitations of research with class a drugs (new findings show that LSD may offer hope to those with PTSD, other drugs for depression etc)

Altho UK based I would guess the laws regarding research are similar which makes any research almost impossible without jumping thro some major hoops,,,,another point he makes is a comparison of the active compounds in their natural state versus the derived pure compounds (cocoa leaves vs cocaine),,,"I'm not a liberal, I'm being rational" in regards as to why he wants to see some changes made in how drugs are classified (once a drug is classified as a Class A, research is all but cut off due to laws,,,if you got an hour a good listen
