My simple argument for introducing cbd is that the side effects of the neuroleptics are inhumane to force upon someone. Emotional blunting, loss of imagination, lack of internal voice, anhedonia, dysphoria, akithesia, motor impairment, and brain damage. These things constitute torture and should be avoided if we're to call ourselves a humane society.
But there are a few reasons I can see why they're holding back on it.
1. Antipsychotics make the pharma companies more money than any other type of drugs. They would lose billions in revenue if cbd became first line treatment for schizophrenia, because cbd is a natural compound and is not patentable. These companies actually write the dsm 4 and control psychiatric law. In fact, since cbd treats other conditions like anxiety, and some good old thc lifts a depression or add, psychiatry would effectively collapse. Right now it serves as social justice, separate from the justice system, If you're sad to the point where it becomes a social problem, they blunt your emotions and sex drive and cripple the brains natural functioning. If you're anxious, they do something similar. Schizophrenics get it the worst, not even being able to refuse and getting the most radical damage done to their minds or souls in order to make them socially normal.
2. It's a question of security. A schizo is simply not trusted mentally, and since cbd doesn't act as a cognitive restraint, the government simply would not trust schizophrenics on it. Antipsychotic treatment is supposed to be a punishment similar to prison but acting internally, and cbd would raise the issue of having a bunch of crazy but now healthy free thinkers in society, who are potentially dangerous.
3. They want to but the whole cannabis plant happens to be illegal.
I think within the next 10 years Canada with its emphasis on medical marijuana will collapse psychiatry by introducing cbd as first line treatment. Psychiatry isn't humane towards the schizos, and these 3 issues will be reasonably disregarded. The pharmacaust will become a real issue studied by historians.
