Caffeine and alcohol are highly addictive yet not scheduled. While meth and marijuana are grouped in the same schedule 😂 it's a joke.

I really hate when medical doctors speak condescendingly about naturopathic medicine...i mean, you do know it was around way before you, and will probably be around way after all of the chemical concoctions we created

Whatever a treatment is, if it works, it should be observable. If it can't be observed to work any better than a placebo, whether it's new or old, naturopathic or not, then it doesn't work.
