the positive effects of psychedelics on mental health
it's worse than politics. any honest correspondent writes about the interesting effects, and lets editorialisation in magazines for general audiences add politics until they lose readership; however, science has been politicised for longer than I've been alive...
Wait, is science all political these days? What makes you say that in this case?

pretty much; it's politics all the way down, until you reach logic; then there is some hope that the oppressed minority of mathematicians who believe that art is dead and mathematics survived by pretending successfully to be a science will survive longer than the death of their beautiful art.
