Kudos to Time magazine for leading the pack of mainstream journalists questioning why politics trumps science in drug policy. Friday, Time‘s excellent Maia Szalavitz posted that “potential treatments for Alzheimer’s disease, cancer and many other illnesses are being blocked by anti-drug laws.”
That opinion comes from a new editorial review published in Nature Reviews Neuroscience, wherein lead author David Nutt — chair of neuropsychopharmacology at Imperial College London — and his colleagues argue the drug war is “hindering progress in neuroscience and deterring drug companies from pursuing important leads in major disorders affecting millions of patients.”
