78. More research is needed.
For example, Anhedonia is a good effect in some situations, and not in others.

Denying that any drug had an effect is silly, unless one wants to sell the drug. For example, anhedonia is a great treatment for manic-depressives... no high, no crash.... good. Most SSRI's work on this principle.

As far as going point by point, we can slam studies at each other all day and night, but my central point would be that we need to really test, and not accept the past results. Science is science, and new results inform.

As far as the contentions about existing studies, yes, more tests can be run.

Denying past results, OTOH, is a rejection of science.
