If you have full faith in the medical and legal system then yes, this absolutely true. The fact that we have an epidemic of legally prescribed opioids while effective treatments of PTSD (in clinical settings) such as MDMA remain broadly illegal is all the evidence you need to know that you shouldn't put your full faith in our system.

While promising I still don't trust people to self medicate with these things.

You end up in BS anecdote land where people with issues self diagnose themselves, take uncontrolled drugs with dubious quality, and self report effects. It's all in all unreliable when not monitored by a neutral medical professional.
