The benefit from the illegal substances differed greatly with those who took them.

Have you ever heard of the placebo affect?
People take all kinds of things that have no benefit, but they believe it does give them something so they continue to take it. I went to my Orthopedic Doctor after tearing my hamstring during the football season. I asked the doctor about taking Icy Hot and other muscle stimulation creams and medicines and he told me flat out they have little or no benefit to make you heal an injury. But people take them and if it makes them feel it works, it cannot do any harm. But there was no medical backing to prove it did anything more than just plain rest or inactivity. So because someone claims they were helped, does not mean they were medically helped. And studies of drugs often give people things that are not the drug to prove the real affects of drugs rather than just what someone thinks. People who take many drugs think they help, that is why they take them.
