Right. But the other thing is you get into this weird cycle where a drug like fentanyl is associated with fatal overdoses. That's pretty much the only thing people ever say about fentanyl is that it's killing people. And so when somebody dies of a drug overdose, everybody thinks that's fentanyl because fentanyl is the drug that kills people. So you get this self-reinforcing cycle.

And I've seen this happen personally on a number of occasions where somebody dies of a drug overdose, everyone says that it's fentanyl, and then the toxicology comes back and it was... Heroin, something like that. So people still die of drug overdoses. And it's important. Again, I think people will often misinterpret what I'm saying.

They'll say, oh, he's like a fentanyl apologist who's saying nobody dies of fentanyl. They absolutely do. But the point is, if you decide that every drug problem is a product of then you will misconstrue the problem and may fail to recognize that while the problems with fentanyl are real, it has also become a major propaganda tool.

So maybe that's the case that this is true. But also you could imagine having a bottle of pharmaceutical cocaine and being impressed by it and thinking, oh, this is the real stuff.

And then because of this association with purity and goodness, then you don't have a come down. People do this all the time. Don't feel dirty, right? Because it's pharmaceutical grade. Right, right. So people do this all the time with alcohol where they'll say, oh, that's, you know.

the like of course you get a hangover with the terrible alcohol but this is something like really nice this is some nice stuff what gives you a hangover from alcohol is alcohol so so so you know and i'm not saying that there couldn't be some you know minor contribution from sugar or whatever but if it were the sugar then anyone that ate a piece of candy would have a hangover the next day which is not typically the case

So, yeah, it's the alcohol that is responsible, but people will buy into these ideas about how like a really high purity alcohol is not going to produce a hangover or whatever. So it's the same. People do this all the time.

Yeah. Well, the interesting thing about placebo or expectation is that these factors exist even in the presence of an active substance. So people always talk about placebo as if those factors only exist when you give somebody a sugar pill or something that's pharmacologically inactive. But those same
