I agree with the idea of rehabilitating public perception, but I believe that happens naturally with legalization. The issue is that every day there is friction to acquire unadulterated drugs, is another day some young human dies for causes unrelated to the negative impacts of the substance they are taking themselves. It is easy to plan for the risk of something when you know what it is. How can they plan for risk of fentanyl laced MDMA? They are going to take the drug one way or another, so we can all start by making sure what they take is what they think it is. That will immediately begin saving lives and have drastic societal impacts. By doing that, the reshaping of perceptions and use of these drugs happens naturally. People taking them can be open about what they are on, and can have support when they use. Conversations will happen naturally -- "did you know MDMA has significant benefits when taken quietly and contemplatively? Maybe try that sometime." These conversations rarely happen now because you have to establish trust and knowledge with people to make sure they won't be a danger to your safety and freedom. With current mechanics, often times, people hide their use so well they look like advocates against use. How many police officers, for instance, are users of something? We don't have a clue. The users are absolute masters of hiding. But I promise you, they exist, and the numbers are higher than anyone would expect.
