Your claim that describing Haldol as a sedative is disingenuous is entirely about intention and justification, not about anything material.

If you're not mad already a proper dose of Haldol will make you look (and feel) it.

Benadryl and Haldol arguably don’t belong in the same sentence at all, considering their ridiculously different effects and profile.

“It’s used to skirt the rules.” What will likely happen is that they will simply approve Haldol for additional uses, such as the cases where elderly are hallucinating and highly agitated due to the effects of Alzheimers.

I got sidetracked by the claim that Haldol is "a powerful sedative." I understand that journalists are neither doctors nor pharmacists, but if you're reporting on a story about medical ethics, maybe know a little bit about drugs, how they work, and what the words you're using mean in a medical context.

Not that there's going to be much practical difference between Geodon and Haldol.
