but unfortunately not everyone responds to every psychadelic the same way. Some people respond better to lysergamides (LSD) (myself included) than tryptamines (mushrooms/ayahuasca) and I have friends that only respond positively to phenethylamines (cacti/mescaline).
To decriminalize one for depression is like making zoloft legal but making prozac, welbutrin, and all other SSRIs illegal.
All the classic psychadelics have long proven track records of being safe and completely, physically harmless.
What I find even more absurd are the pushes to make MDMA legal before LSD when MDMA is simply psychadelic meth that everyone knows is very harmful to the mind and body if used more than a couple of times per year. The studies on it are even more absurd. We have "scientists" acting surprised that a drug called "extacy" makes someone with PTSD feel pleasure and happiness. Of course it does, that's how it works... But after the fact, the mind is completely drained of serotonin and you feel like shooting yourself for quite some time as you experience the worst depression you've ever had.
Legalize all lysergamides, tryptamines, and phenethylamines! Stop splitting hairs already and let people consume the chemicals required for them to live healthy, happy lives.
