100% agree based on my experiences with psychadelic enthusiasts.

  So you've formed a critical opinion of psychedelics without having tried them, based only on knowing enthusiasts? This would be like hating crossfit just because you know an annoying crossfitter, or vegan food just because you know an obnoxious vegan.

    If the annoying crossfitter ignored that about a tenth of his gym mates attacked people on the street, yes, I would hate crossfit.

    It's not clear why I shouldn't do that. If a significant chunk of people that do Crossfit or are Vegan are insufferable I'd avoid them lest I too became insufferable. The only reason not to would be something like sampling bias where you identify the 1% that are insufferable but don't see the 99% that aren't.
