Feels underwritten by the DEA, and aimed at perhaps high school students? Very slow pace; info couldve been distilled into less than half the lectures (I completed the 7 weeks in 3 days). Doesnt really distinguish between users without serious problems & addicts (which I believe amplifies gateway effects & experimentation once people meet users who arent brain damaged or addicts). Creates an exaggerated and arbitrary distinction between prescribed drugs as all good and recreational as all bad, and dismisses any possible benefits of substances that are not legal, noting only that medical marijuana has been helpful for HIV patients, which is certainly an understatement. Components are also helpful for cancer patients, anxiety, and more. Perhaps break this into studies of common drugs, how they work, & effects and separately, the mechanisms of addiction and treatment. However, I appreciated the reduce harm policy economics.
