  in that case, consider that around a third of all suicides are actively drunk at the time, and people addicted to alcohol suffer as much as a 120x greater suicide risk https://www.alcoholrehabguide.org/resources/dual-diagnosis/alcohol-and-suicide/ https://www.alcoholrehabguide.org/resources/dual-diagnosis/a... and then consider the mortality and harm caused directly by consumption of alcohol, which is significant, and one of the statistically largest causes of death at 140,000 people killed per year https://nccd.cdc.gov/DPH_ARDI/ https://nccd.cdc.gov/DPH_ARDI/ and once again, the involvement of psychedelics with with suicide is extremely limited and rare. psychedelics are often self-reported as a source of long-term relief from suicidal feelings, after even a single experience. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8033757/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8033757/
