Is There a Better Drug or a Safer Drug?

Barbiturates have been phased out almost entirely there's some instances where they're used to treat epilepsy or insomnia but it's very very uncommon and the reason is simply because better drugs exist. You also have a lot of problems with closeted drug use which is I think analogous to closeted sexual preferences of one kind or another because they're stigmatized because they are considered unhealthy or embarrassing or bad people hide shameful yeah they hide their drug use. Carl Hart’s idea was an extremely important one because in reducing that stigma in allowing people to feel comfortable saying this is what I do this iswhat I struggle with then you are better equipped to help those people.
