The research is old and in its infancy, but I believe there is a pretty clear evidence that link underlying predisposition to certain mental illnesses and a psychotic episode when using psychedelics. I believe it remains to be determined what exactly this means, and how to go about it.
It is, in my opinion, a very strong argument for not allowing unsupervised mass consumption. And to be fair, most people are not using psychedelics in a way that maximize their psychological healing, but rather just to trip. On the flipside, smoking and alcohol are legal, and that causes a lot of early deaths every single day, even to people not smoking or drinking.
- amanaplanacanal 3y agoBy “not allowing” do you mean putting people in jail, or something else? Because passing a law doesn’t make it just go away. Putting people in jail seems worse in every way.
- mythhabit 3y agoYou should never put people in jail for using any controlled substance. That is mostly an american thing. For people using it, just fine them and be done with it. Go after the people producing, distributing and selling.
