Anyone who's taken it should have no problem understanding how easily this drug can create a disturbed state of mind. It has quite powerful psychoactive effects.

I do a lot of work with psychedelics. I'm very, very well aware of the power of consciousness-altering chemicals to have profound effects. That's kind of the whole point of using them. They should be respected but I don't see how that implies they should be feared.

EDIT: Phrasing

Putting weed and hard psychedelics in the same category is silly imo.

The strength of a drug like LSD takes my breath away compared to something like pot.

I wouldn't call LSD a "hard psychedelic". Potent, maybe, but not "hard".

If anything, a more dissociative substance such as salvia would be more along what I'd call a "hard" one. Or perhaps 5-MeO-DMT.
