New Era Xanax? Look out when a mouse becomes a mammoth.
"Next up will be the Dharmanol ™ Citrolene ™ and T-Hydrocan ™ Citrolene ™. Both of these products contain a substantial dose of the terpenes and terpenoids found in cannabis and hemp which bind to the same receptors as Xanax and Valium.
"It is anticipated that treating these receptors with a non-toxic organic terpene will produce similar relaxing and anti-spasmodic effects, without the dangerous habit-forming properties of the pharmaceuticals which bind to the same receptors ."

Welcome to New Era depression and anxiety compounds except that that the New Era versions calm, rebalance and heal without harm. And not to forget application to school age people "diagnosed" with ADHD. Valium and Xanax have accounted for billions in Big Pharma sales since their inception.
Forbes 2010
Almost three decades later, America is still a Xanax nation. It remains the most popular psychiatric drug, topping more recently introduced medicines like the sleeping pill Ambien (No. 2) and the antidepressant Lexapro (No. 3). Doctors write nearly 50 million prescriptions for Xanax or alprazolam (the cheap, generic equivalent) every year–that’s more than one Xanax prescription every second. Upjohn vanished in a series of mergers–it’s buried somewhere inside Pfizer now–but the decision its executives made still echoes through our culture, and through the bodies of psychiatric patients.

Top 25 Psychiatric Medication Prescriptions for 2011
By John M. Grohol, Psy.D.
These are the top 25 psychiatric medications by number of U.S. prescriptions dispensed in 2011, according to IMS Health.
To put the percent changes below into perspective, the U.S. total population rose approximately 1.6 percent from 2009 to 2011. That suggests that anything above 1.6 percent change was driven by other factors — more people seeking treatment, more pharmaceutical advertising and marketing, or some other factor.
The biggest movers and shakers on the list were Celexa — moving up 15 spots to grab the second most-prescribed psychiatric drug in 2011 — and Wellbutrin XL, moving from 22 to 13.
Drugs used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) — generic amphetamine salts and methylphenidate — enjoyed big gains as well.
