    People will go great lengths to mentally justify to themselves they’re not addicts somehow.

    And sure, many will be functional addicts, DrHousing around life without apparent crazyness, but many won’t, but still try them because people like this swear it’s the panacea.

    Sure, in some cases they can do good and be therapeutic, but in so many other not.

    Is like marijuana, for years people swore up and down that it was harmless and not addictive, but now science shows that can cause addiction, and that it can cause long term cognitive damage.

    What I will agree tough, is that marijuana and some psychodelic drugs are, even if harmful, way less so than things like alcohol and cigarettes, so then is the question to be asked if those are legal, why these aren’t, and that’s a good argument to say they shouldn’t be illegal.

    I still won’t take any of them tough.

    and still is quite BS the comic’s copium as many have pointed out.

      Ive never met, read, or heard of an addict of psychedelics. Even an addict of THC is a stretch to be honest.
