AB  - Many psychoactive drugs are used recreationally, particularly by young people. 
      This use and its perceived dangers have led to many different classes of drugs 
      being banned under national laws and international conventions. Indeed, the 
      possession of cannabis, 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine (MDMA; also known 
      as ecstasy) and psychedelics is stringently regulated. An important and 
      unfortunate outcome of the controls placed on these and other psychoactive drugs 
      is that they make research into their mechanisms of action and potential 
      therapeutic uses - for example, in depression and post-traumatic stress disorder 
      - difficult and in many cases almost impossible.
