Medication chapter

Hello. I found the medication chapter to be way to detailed. Most of this chapter is found in a single article (reference 51). The detailed manner in which those drugs are presented could lead to dangerous self medication. Moreover most of the medication there is not available outside US. And the nail in the coffin: The study says all those meds are not sufficient (or do not work at all). And all have serios side effects.

And the conclusion of this article is as follows: "Finally, it appears that treating withdrawal is not sufficient as a monotherapy to reduce use and initiate abstinence, at least in severe cannabis users. Future work should make use of medications with different proposed mechanisms...."

So I propose shortening this chapter and adding the aforementioned conclusion.

The Medication section is over-long, but the source is strong. I think Wikipedia's should be closer to that article's summary, touring the various medications mentioned. The proposed conclusion is too short. Bon courage (talk) 07:48, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello.

Yes, the source is strong, but misrepresented. My quoted conclusion is from the medical article. Being a whole sentence quote it is not appropriate for wiki.

I am proposing erasing most of the mentioned medication for the following reasons:

1. Way to detailed for non medical professionals.

Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Medicine-related articles - Wikipedia

2. Wikipedia is not a DIY manual for medication.

3. The medication presented in the medical article, after testing, has none to marginal effect. There are two tables that summarize all the substances.

4. The medication presented is dangerous. Very dangerous.

So this is why i think it should be authored.

I can try to rephrase the whole chapter (at least the detailed part) and see if we all agree.

Also: i am not a native speaker and will go wrong on grammar. That's the reason i m not keen on making edits by myself.

Also no.2: i have shown this wiki article to a psychiatrist and after half hour study he was adamant on "shaving" critical data.

Thanks for replay.

Psychedelics

In the dependence section of this entry, it states that the dependence rate for LSD and other such psychedelics is slightly higher than that of Marijuana. This is untrue, and the sources cited do not reference these substances at all. 12.207.212.136 (talk) 03:59, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
