Does medical research with illicit drugs benefit patients? Overview: Studies document potential medicinal effects of illicit substances, but questions remain / Monica Dybuncio and Ryan Jaslow -- The possibilities for innovative medical treatments are unlimited / Phillip Francis -- Drugs from the 1960s are the focus of new research / Denis Campbell -- Creating contemporary criteria
"With the legalization of medical marijuana becoming increasingly common in many states, the medicinal potential of formerly illicit drugs has caught the public's attention. However, marijuana is not the only drug being researched and used medicinally: MDMA, psilocybin, and ketamine have been found to have therapeutic qualities, which leads some to question whether the medical use of these substances may also be legal in the future. This volume explores issues like regulation, the ethics of using illicit drugs in medical and scientific research, and its place in the greater history of drug regulation in the United States"--
