I'm an ex drug addict and ex dealer who's taken everything and now I'm clean and on the straight and narrow (apart from smoking marijuana daily and LSD as an occasional treat). I know drugs and the drug world well and now I'm training to become a drug counsellor to help people. I've always agreed with everything David Nutt says. He's very clever and he's very good hearted and should be listened to and taken seriously by as many people as possible
Interesting that the UK Government is happy to " follow the Science " when it comes to Covid 19........but strangely not when it comes to drugs legislation.
This man (genius more like!) speaks so much truth,and isnt afraid to call. Spade s spade as they say! He should be back in the government but there not used to common sense!
My past worry was to help AllanWattsZen to higher level, now i think, i would want to helpHim, Dr David Nutt of Entertainer as well Wonder,how come no one was bothered or angered in comments, from many who thank, that from 48:30 /3 there was PERHAPS many minutes cut out, but why, by who and where is it, was whole video really 51 minutes in raw format ? Good, that slides are clued there, but same time, also make sure there is link , in video edit end, where full info can be found what is happening with related material to that what was seen
One problem I see here when he shows the LSD efficacy chart is that it's using 'meta-analysis' which is looked down upon in scientific circles. Nevertheless despite someone commenting on him saying there's a need for new chemicals to be developed and that there's already 'off label' uses of existing compounds that are prescribed, psychedelics like LSD change the actual addictive mentality not just curb cravings.
meta analysis just combines the results of multiple studies so you read alot of information more concisely. im not sure which scientific circle youre referring to
"... The enormous harm... Is caused by its widespread use...", referring to tobacco and alcohol. But nothing here about the harm from dinner drugs of they were also used as widely. Seems intentional. I still want drugs to be a health issue and not a police issue but this makes the data look weak.
There are some interesting people working in psychiatry, of course they do become doctors first. Perhaps they shouldn't be so generalising, and ha ha ha prescriptive. I think he is depicted in the picture as a chemist, as in someone trained in chemistry AND who makes, or tests drugs.
@@IQuickscopeCA No, psychiatry is a specialism of medicine i.e. of being a doctor. Clinical psychology is similar, but does not, unlike psychiatry, require a medical degree to practice it.
He seems a pleasant enough, even sensible man, but just because he is a scientist does not mean that he is politically neutral, or morally right. The same goes for whoever writes scientific studies in Neuroscience papers, or any other papers.

Theresa may has allegedly dismissed articles showing portugals effectiveness on decriminalisation, just cause she didnt like it.

Great lecture! Sad this gets only so little views
Excellent talk, thanks for uploading.
David Nutt should be in charge of drug policy. It should be based on facts and evidence, instead of fear and trying to win votes.
"What is a drug and who says what a drug is?" That's exactly the question everyone should be asking.
Thank you very much for this interesting lecture! :-)
They will never relinquish power to people who actually know what they are talking about.
The last year has proved that beyond any doubt.

David Nutt is my weirdest man-crush ever.
1 person is an alcoholic
I like the cheerful little piano riffs to accompany the steep rise in liver disease deaths and diseased brains.
My favourite part too

The drugs being used the most often by most people from a young age does most harm. What a shock?
Are you sure you understod what he said?
"... The enormous harm... Is caused by its widespread use...", referring to tobacco and alcohol. But nothing here about the harm from dinner drugs of they were also used as widely. Seems intentional. I still want drugs to be a health issue and not a police issue but this makes the data look weak.
Other drugs, not dinner drugs.
I will never trust a doctor who thinks the courts are the best way to solve addiction.
Anyone interested in this topic should read: Drugs, Without The How Air. I got far more from his book than I ever could have from Ytube vids

He's one of the world's leading neuropsychopharmacologists. He worked with the british government for decades as the head of ACMD
theyre doctors by working in psychiatry, they dont become doctors they are doctors.

@@IQuickscopeCA Or a PhD in neuropsychopharmacology (or whatever the exact palava is) also doesn't make them a medical doctor.

My mother who is a retired State Registered Nurse has told me that cannabis can cause liver failure.
My mother told me if I misbehaved the bogey man would come and get me .....I did and he didn't

Marmamarquess Just because he is politically biased does not mean that he is wrong. He does have arguments and evidence to support his claims.

We have been brainwashed by government to believe drugs are harmful.
