    Side effects are just effects.

    Every material we can ingest (or apply on skin, etc) will have effects

    Since there are a many more ways for things to go wrong, and very few ways for something to go right, the chance that you get a “negative” side effect is higher than that it’s a positive effect

      There’s also off-label usage for drugs where a doctor will prescribe a medication for a different effect than what is originally intended, that’s basically a positive side effect.
