Risks of Placebo

I’m thinking about experimenting with a drug called “placebo”. Are there any risks?

Was it Nancy Reagan who urged us to “just say no to placebo”? Remember, any right you had to experiment with drugs went out the window the day Ron, Nancy, George and Tipper threw down the guantlet and declared a war on drugs. Sure, placebo might be harmless fun, it might even enhace your creativity or sex life, but unless it’s sold to you by a pharmacist with a doctor’s prescription, you could end up doing federal time with no possibility of parole. Who knows, it might not be any more exciting than a stiff cup of Ethiopian Hararrarrarararar which, by the way, is still legal.
