None of this is true.

People like you promoting psychedelics are responsible for much suffering (bad trips, drug induced trauma and PTSD, long term psychological problems).

AFAIK it is MUCH more likely to feel normal and healthy after intoxication by alcohol than after intoxication by psychedelics.

All drugs should be legalized. Criminalization must not create additional costs and problems. Legal must not mean harmless. Many legal things (e.g. drugs, too much sugar, animal products, fossil fuel, ...) are harmful.
