"All this shows “our an­ces­tors were reg­u­larly ex­posed to plant neurotox­ins,” they added, so the view of our brains as un­sus­pect­ing vic­tims of the new chem­i­cal threat is un­ten­able. "
" One pos­si­bil­ity, the sci­en­tists sug­gested, is that an­i­mals co-opted some plant tox­ins and used them for their own de­fenses against para­sites. If this is true, then ev­o­lu­tion, the pro­cess by which spe­cies adapt and change to meet en­vi­ron­men­tal de­mands, might have de­signed our brains to en­cour­age some drug use. This could in­volve shap­ing our brains to as­so­ci­ate drug in­take with feel­ings of re­ward."

Thanks ab, i actually think that dispelling the enormous amount of ignorance concerning the whole issue of drugs in general and their influence on the human brain is of paramount importance if we are to evolve into a more benign society and civilization.

Drugs may have been important to the progress of our ancestors. "Look. Eat this and stand up straight."
The brain is the mystery region in most ways. We know a little, but haven't advanced too far from Freud. Drugs are prescribed as sedatives and the brain tells the person that nicotine is not wanted. The use of some of the neuro drugs has had side effects of magnitude and the prescribed use of neuro drugs has also had fatal effects - strokes, heart attacks, Doctors have to decide if the possible cure is worth the risk. As good as our system is, some are not tested fully for possible reactions to prescribed drugs.
