Hats off to Dr. Russo
Truth has been one of the casualties of the drug war, and falsehoods about natural medicines and their effects have been one of the war's underpinnings. This journal presents science, not slogan. It's a welcome academic forum for scientific debate and the presentation of meaningful research, and a bigger kick in the drug warriors' seats than they know.
