Soma is a drug that has been known for its euphoric effects which can be used as medication to relieve anxiety, tension, and muscle pain. The name "soma" has various meanings in different cultures, and it was originally used as an ingredient in Ayurvedic medicine in India. In Western culture, soma is mostly associated with the dystopian novel "Brave New World," where it portrays a dystopian future where people are controlled through the consumption of this drug. Despite its negative portrayal in fiction, soma continues to be a widely used medicine today due to its effective muscle relaxation properties. However, like any other medication or substance, soma should only be taken under the guidance of medical professionals and is illegal without a prescription.
