Disclaimer: I'm pro-legalization.
I think the only downside of legalizing it will be increasing the number of users, and therefor the number of possible bad trips/stupid actions while high.
Being that we let ~88K die in the US due to alcohol, I think we can handle that a couple dozen misadventures from shrooms as well.
- seandoe 8y agoI think psilocybin is a great drug to test legalization and it's effect on recreational usage. If I had to guess, I think there would be an initial increase in psilocybin use. Though, over time I think it would decrease back to a number slightly more than today. More than just usage, it would be interesting to see its impact on crime, dui, 'addiction', etc. Just maybe this would lead to a more rational view of drug use and further drug legalization.
- pstuart 8y ago> test legalization and it's effect on recreational usage I'd assume that we have a lot of data with cannabis now. I'm guessing that it is a significant net win. Drug use is so demonized that it will take a lot of time and easily messaged education to change that.
