Brains are *weird*

[livejournal.com profile] metahacker mentioned it in passing yesterday and today [livejournal.com profile] brewergnome posted this article from Nature.com about how Special K might end up being one of the best antidepressant we've got right now. I love the part about how companies are making drugs to take with ketamine to reduce the "side effects", presumably referring to the fact that it's a psychedelic.

And the fact that it will kill you and cause brain damage after a while...

You're not supposed to enjoy your drugs...look at the whole medical marijuana thing.

Well, there are undoubtedly people are depressed, who don't want to be depressed, but who also don't want to be tripping all the time. Indeed, no matter how much fun tripping might be, I suspect it would get really tiring after a while.
