Oh it will take years but hindsight has a way of resolving ambiguity. No one will be personally responsible, of course, but it will be costly.
It's a typical issue: self-regulation does not work. Ever. Never has. Never will. In industry, within organisations or in a regulated profession,...
The insistence that withdrawal effects are minor despite literally being the most talked-about consequence by nearly everyone who has ever taken...
I saw a discussion on Twitter a while ago. Can't remember the exact details but someone (either a therapist or clinical psychologist) was talking...
