Pharmacology/Talk

What to do with things like adrenochrome?, which have pharmacological effects, but no (at least AFAIK) therapeutic use? And do people really use it as a street drug? Who would want psychosis? -- The Anome

Pharmacology as such is a [basic science]? and does not deal with therapy at all. Applied pharmacology is called Pharmacotherapy?.

So, everything with pharmacological effects has its place in pharmacology and/or toxicology, if it is used theraupeutically or not.

Adrenochrome? is not used in medicine, unless for research purposes. And I would be very surprised, if it was used as a street drug. There are "better" and certainly cheaper solutions for that.

Concerning your last question: There are in fact *many* people *wanting* a *temporary* psychosis, in sharp contrast to a lasting psychosis, which, I am sure, virtually nobody could honestly want. -- DA
