Much of the history of pharmacology and therapeutics involves finding new uses for old drugs. The latest rediscovery is that of psychedelic drugs. Since they can cause profound distortions of perception and were once used as part of religious ceremonies, such research may seem unusual at this time.
药理学和治疗学的历史在很大程度上涉及为旧药物寻找新用途。最近的重新发现是迷幻药物。由于它们会导致感知的深刻扭曲,并且曾经被用作宗教仪式的一部分,因此在这个时候进行这样的研究可能看起来很不寻常。
