I have spent a lot of time covering psychiatric drugs like SSRIs. The problem with these drugs is that they’re incredibly potent, potentially dangerous, and they effect the mind in ways that the doctors prescribing them don’t fully understand. And all of these problems are compounded by the fact that they are increasingly easy to obtain. In fact, as the problems with psychiatric medications become more evident, the barriers to access them only become lower. It seems that things should be working the opposite way. But that’s how it goes now. If you want to get a highly potent, dangerous, mind altering drug, you can. In fact, you probably don’t even have to leave your house.
This trend is becoming more and more common with an ever increasing array of drugs. They are very easy to get, there is very little oversight, and you don’t have to leave your house to obtain them. This is a major problem that will require all kinds of legislation to fix. But there are some steps we can, and must, take immediately to address the problem of fraudulent, life-altering drugs being handed out in large quantities to young people, basically on demand. One of those steps is to defund some of the largest distributors of these life-altering drugs, which is something that should’ve happened a long time ago.
