I think it's disingenuous to argue from the stance that magical thinking is bad and should be prevented, and thus that the drug is bad and should be eliminated.

I think it's disingenuous to argue from the stance that magical thinking is bad and should be prevented, and thus that the drug is bad and should be eliminated. I think you'd be surprised just how many functional people have magical beliefs and especially how many scientists and engineers do. The notion that a pattern of thought is dangerous and should be outlawed has probably done more harm to the world than "meta-magical thinking."
