> Psychedelics? That's some very powerful stuff that should be handled with extreme care. Meanwhile you have youtube channels presenting them as you would have a beer.

Uh... alcohol is infinitely more dangerous than psychedelics, both potential and actual damage caused.

Alcohol is the most dangerous drug we have. Drinking too much at once can kill you (psychedelics can’t), discontinuing habitual use can kill you (only alcohol and benzos!).

Then we have the effects alcohol has on judgement and behavior, which aren’t good! Alcohol causes or exacerbates a ton of social problems.

Everything you said is correct. BUT: drugs will be in addition to alcohol, not instead of.

What do you mean by this? Almost nobody I know mixes psychedelics with alcohol.

We know different people then. But that was not what I ment. I was talking about legislators looking at the whole society, not individuals. And drugs are even more things that can be abused in addition to existing alcohol which they tried to stop but could not.

And they've managed to stop "drugs".

LOL.

Psychedelics have little abuse potential. Drug abuse is usually an attempt to avoid feeling your existing feelings. Psychedelics will magnify your existing feelings, good or bad.
