Given the post-war history of banning psychiatric medications the moment they appear to be effective (because they happen to feel good), the opposite heuristic is if anything more useful.

Shouldn't be like that, but it is.

At least sanity is starting to return to the world: MDMA for PTSD and ketamine for depression are starting to become valid treatments, to the great benefit of those fortunate enough to be able to find and afford to take them inside the system.

But it's the same ketamine. A clinic gives you an IV infusion in a dark room with some nice music; the difference between that and taking a line on your own, in a dark room with some nice music, is less decisive than people who haven't tried it seem to think.
