Clinical trials and drug policy

How randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trials show a drug works; expectancy (placebo and nocebo); the phases of drug development; the Controlled Substances Act schedules; and the War on Drugs, decriminalization and legalization.

Podrás
Critique a drug trial's design, explain placebo and nocebo effects, place a drug in its schedule, and distinguish decriminalization from legalization.
