Exactly the opposite. The lower the number, the higher the affinity.

Not completely. For instance, it never ceases to amaze me how easily stimulants are prescribed in America. Adderall, a combination of amphetamine salts - it would be unthinkable in Europe!
And despite the hypocrisy of dividing drugs in 'therapeutic' and 'recreative' drugs, some drugs of the latter class are actually quite bad for your brain. Like XTC, which was originally brought on the market as a diet pill..
