What's the difference between a narcotic and a psychiatric medication

In using them little bar one thing: narcotics work quickly. Howeer even
this is changing as researchers investigate ketamine and find it's a
rapid acting antidepressant that's useful for the treatment of
depression in bipolar patients. What they found was it was a narcotic
and they spend loads of time and money reserching something than
ketamine users knew already.

In fact there are some psychiatric drugs such as the anti-anxioyltics
which do act quickly or pain medication with psychotropic effects.
People use these illegally to get high. They don't use SSRIs illegally
because they take too long to work. They don't use mood stabilisers or
antipsychotics because these are considered anti-enthogens as well as
taking ages to work.

But really there's little other difference between antidepressants and
anti-anxiolytics and illegal drugs. Doctors prescribe them like drug
dealers. Most amsuing is the evidence than certain strains of cannabis
high in cannibidols (and low in delta-9-THC) are antipsychotic. Of
course there's the issue of purity too. Medication is usually a single
chemcial though I've seen new medications that combine antidepressants
and antupsychotics for treatment-resistant depression in America.
Cannabis has between 40-80 compoinds involved in the high (from the 3
latest literature revfiews on cannabis and mental health publisjhed in
the leading medical journals in the UK).
