From the FDA
Drug by definition:
What about fragrances when they target our brains and brain functions, including moods and perceptions?

I have done a lot of thinking (when brain fog isn’t an issue) about my life, where I’ve come from, where I am, and where I am going… Over the years I’ve also tried to understand how things end up the way they are, how policy decisions are made, and how our own decisions and actions (or lack there-of) affect our future and how future generations will live.
We live in some very challenging times, and it can get quite over-whelming and depressing when we see that our so called “leaders” are taking actions that will make things worse for everyone.

I think we have more power and capabilities than we understand or give ourselves credit for, but it’s not easy discovering how to access them.
