What are the ethics for preventing a mentally stable, tax paying adult from consuming whatever mind altering chemical they want?

  Generally speaking, harm reduction. With full knowledge of what could happen (because effects are often not uniform), and with the right care and support I would think it can be done ethically. Look at the trials of using LSD/mushrooms/MDMA to help people work through serious trauma. Done well it looks to be positively life changing, done poorly and it seems to be horrifying.

    Harm reduction, at what cost?

    Fine, so print warnings on the bottle and make me sign a disclaimer. Isn’t it more harmful to create a black market with no quality controls? Isn’t it more harmful to ruin countless lives with felony convictions?
