    What I would emphasize is that just because a drug changes somebody’s behavior in a helpful way does not mean that the drug is actually healing anything in the body. That is there is no objective medical disease that amphetamine salts are curing. That is not to say that some do not find certain drugs helpful. But just because someone finds a drug helpful does not mean that it is curing or a medicine to remedy and objective bodily disease. Regardless all drugs should be legal for adults that use them in a peaceful and responsible way

      That’s like saying ibuprofen is snake oil because it doesn’t cure headaches. No one is taking it with the expectation of a cure. It’s just meant to help manage the problem.
