Corticosteroid drugs have been widely used treat patients with brain injury because they are thought to reduce intracranial pressure.
Drug-induced intracranial hypertension (DIIH) or medication-induced intracranial hypertension is a condition of higher than normal intracranial pressure with the main cause being a drug. [13] This condition is similar to idiopathic intracranial hypertension, however the etiology in this instance is a drug. [ 14 ]
There is no evidence that barbiturates reduce death, and although they reduce intracranial pressure, one in four people have problems.
In the event that the intracranial pressure (ICP) rises past 16 mmHg, blood vessels within the brain will constrict to reduce the blood to flow to cranium thus lowering the intracranial pressure. Thus, when a traumatic brain injury occurs, to the extend where the brain s homeostatic functions are lost, intracranial pressure (ICP) increases
Lumbar puncture is used to do the following: Evaluate intracranial pressure and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) composition (see table Cerebrospinal Fluid Abnormalities in Various Disorders) Therapeutically reduce intracranial pressure (eg, idiopathic intracranial hypertension) Administer intrathecal drugs or a radiopaque contrast agent for myelography.
by AJ Sinclair 2024 Cited by 378Women with idiopathic intracranial hypertension who followed a low energy diet for three months had significantly reduced intracranial pressure.
The management of idiopathic intracranial hypertension focuses on reducing intracranial pressure to preserve vision and reduce headaches. There is sparse evidence to support the use of some of the drugs commonly used to manage idiopathic intracranial hypertension, therefore we propose to evaluate the efficacy of these drugs at lowering intracranial pressure in healthy rats.
In patients who may be susceptible to the intracranial effects of CO 2 retention (e.g, those with evidence of increased intracranial pressure or brain tumors), morphine may reduce respiratory drive; resultant CO 2 retention can further increase intracranial pressure.

Legalising drugs would reduce crimes such as petty theft, commutted to earn money to pay Dealers.
I read somewhere that Cocaine is cheaper to produce than Sugar, the cost is due to cost of smuggling it to the customer etc.
Prohibition only works when all of society backs it. as long as a sizable minority wants drugs or commitment free sex, you will never stop them by legislation.
