Any drug that impacts the brain is going to fuck you up to some degree. We don’t want people to fuck themselves up purely for amusement. I know you’re itching to say “muh alcohol” but it’s just not the same. It doesn’t cause hallucinations or mess with your sense of reality and it doesn’t have a high level of toxicity like MDMA. The body can process it quite cleanly. Nobody has a glass of wine and has a psychotic break.

> I know you’re itching to say “muh alcohol” but it’s just not the same. It is, alcohol isn't any different, it's a drug, it's abused, it has awful effects, probably more than some other illegal drugs https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2c/HarmCausedByDrugsTable.svg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2c/HarmCaus... https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a9/Drug_danger_and_dependence-small.png?20110904162309 https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a9/Drug_danger_a... > Nobody has a glass of wine and has a psychotic break. Nobody has a single tab of LSD and a psychotic break, it's very very mild. People just imagine things because it's been vilified for decades. A lot of people get blackout drunk several times a week for years/decades, a bit of weed or LSD won't kill them or do any more harm than alcohol. LSD is much less addictive and less dangerous than any other common drugs People imagine LSD = hard drug = injecting meth straight in your eyeballs with a rusty needle when in fact at low dose it's more like a very mellow and long weed joint "good part" of the high kind of thing
