Alcohol? If you did that kind of analysis, you'd be banning alcohol ASAP. Tobacco too.

LSD is effectively non-toxic. It's not addictive. It's less likely to make people do something dangerously stupid than alcohol, which kills thousands in drunken accidents every year. Marijuana is also non-toxic, and generally makes people cautious rather than risk-prone.
