That’s fine by me. I’ve read/heard that PTSD can be helped via the usage of some psychedelics. Those who use it and find it to be helpful— more power to them.
PTSD, and also things like depression as well. They can also help recalibrate your mind's reward systems and help break addictive behaviors and tendencies too. They helped me not only quit opiates, but re-evaluate and deprogram myself from the tendencies towards escapism and self-destruction that made me turn to them in the first place. I believe there is immense potential to help many more like me. That is why I advocate so vehemently against prohibition.
During alcohol prohibition of the 1920s the risk premium allowed organized crime to become wealthy and powerful. Modern drug prohibitionists learned this lesson, which is why we’ve seen politicians criticize drugs in public while privately profiting from CIA-run drug importation.
Yes. And if you press pro-prohibition people, their only real solution is to just dramatically escalate draconian punishments, or use appeal to legalism rather than morality as justification.
Sure, if you become a totalitarian police state with mass surveillance everywhere and execute everyone who smokes a single joint, you can probably eradicate weed smokers.
Do you... really want to live in that kind of a police state though?
Also Alzheimer’s. It’s amazing what mushrooms do for people with Alzheimer’s. It gives them an entirely new lease on life. It doesn’t cure the disease, but it takes away the depression and the anxiety and the sadness.

Prohibition doesn’t ever seem to work to keep people away from any type of substance.

Very good analogy.
