CMV: Psychedelic drugs should be legalized

In my opinion, psychedelic drugs such as mainly LSD, psilocibin mushrooms, DMT and Ayahuasca, but also other psychoactive drugs with a potentially positive effect, should be open for everyone to explore without legal consequences.

A lot of people still seem to be irrationally afraid of those drugs, even though by now there is good evidence that they can be used to help the treatment of depression, anxiety, PTSD (in the case of MDMA) and many other mental conditions. Psychedelic drugs are a very interesting and unnecessarily stigmatised area of research, and the legal prohibitions make it very hard for scientists to explore this field of research.

Some of those drugs have been used for thousands of years by indigenous cultures for spiritual purposes.A majority of people that have used those drugs argue that if those drugs are explored in a save environment, there is a lot of potential to explore one's own conciousness, which seems to me to be one of the key areas of spirituality. 

I think that legalizing those drugs will decrease the violence surrounding them, because they can be sold by companies, not only on the black market. It would also make sure that the quality of the drugs is tested, which would reduce the amount of people that get hurt using them. It would also make education around this topic way easier, we could teach in school how to SAVELY use them, because telling the children NOT TO USE THEM AT ALL is probably not going to work anyway. 

Now, thanks for reading my arguments, and CMV, guys :)

All of the situations where these have been used responsibly in traditional cultures and experiments showing their usefulness have been in *highly* controlled and professionally guided environments.

Pure legalization would encourage highly irresponsible use, including by people that really have no business messing with their already fucked up brains. 

So... legalized for medical use, like Schedule 2/3 in the United States, instead of their current "always illegal" Schedule 1 classification? Sure... 

Without more evidence of safety for the general population in uncontrolled use, it's a really, really, bad idea to legalize powerful psychoactive substances more generally.
