To add to what you're saying, many users aren't just self-medicating emotional pain, but serious psychiatric illnesses. This can be for a number of reasons: lack of insurance coverage, difficulty navigating the medical system (which can be very challenging for someone with mental illness), and unfortunately, the fact that modern medical science just does not have effective treatments available for some of these conditions.

In the future the 'war on plants' will certainly be recognized as a crime against humanity, or at least as society's autoimmune disease.
