The drugs can help some people. But...alcohol, opiates, amphetamines, cocaine, ketamine, shrooms, and other drugs can also help people, often with fewer side effects and more immediate results than newer, "safe" pharmies. Why should the government give prozac thumbs up but continue to punish people who possess/sell pot (or coke, heroin, etc.) ? I'm certainly not saying that human misery can't be reduced by drugs; I'm saying we should have open access to all these drugs and then make up our mind. Something tells me that if we were all able to legally purchase pot and opiates, Prozac and other ADs (and DEFINITELY the antipsychotics) would lose a whole lot of popularity.
