You're conflating "this is now legal" with "lots of people will start using".
Aside from that point, I think we can make an educated guess about what will happen if you extrapolate even a little from countries where they are decriminalized. It obviously doesn't map one to one, but that's a far cry from it being so hard to imagine it's basically undoable.
Thirdly, you're talking about psychedelics and suddenly it's about all hard drugs. That's veering way off topic.

I always love that argument "but Bobby and Sally Sue are going to start shooting up heroin on the playground at recess if we make it legal!!!" or... "hey they made heroin legal" "Fancy that, so what time did you want to see this movie?"
- ada1981 8y agoExactly. As far as I know Nickleback is still legal and we don’t see widespread use.
