I suspect that LSD and other psychedelics will be the next area in the drug legalization war, now that weed is basically down to rearguard actions.

  It’s already easy enough to acquire relative to the low frequency with which people want to use it. As an entirely non-habit-forming drug, you’re unlikely to find a population of people motivated to get easy access to it.

    Non habit forming? Let me take you to a bush doof.

    Weed is relatively low habit forming, significantly less than a lot of other legal drugs, especially nicotine. I’m not sure if the difference between weed and psychedelics in the habit area is enough to affect the formation of a reform movement.

      It’s a controversial statement to describe weed as addictive or habit-forming, but in any case, many people use it daily. The same isn’t true of LSD. Anecdotally, I saw a lot of friends get cranky when their weed supply was briefly interrupted by covid-19. The public reaction was strong enough that dispensaries got to reopen almost immediately.

        Agreed, weed isn’t addictive like alcohol or opiates/stims, but there are plenty of daily users (including myself). LSD is my favorite drug but I could never use it daily, at least recreational doses. I pretty much always have some lsd around, but the urge to use it frequently is not there. I usually go months without tripping, not days.
