Thanks for the reply.

Let’s do a thought experiment.

Imagine that you enjoy alcohol, as in you like to pair wine with cheese and you like to relax with a beer after work. Now imagine that I tell you that alcohol should be banned, and as evidence I show you a news story of some teenagers who don’t know how to control their drinking and drink too much and get into a fight with police and almost die. Not only would you think that I’m hopelessly uninformed about alcohol, but you would also feel vaguely threatened by me because when I say that alcohol should be banned, I’m implying that harmless wine connoisseurs like you should be persecuted and locked in cages. You might point out that the teenagers are actually the victims, and the real perpetrators are the store that sold alcohol to minors, and the parents who failed to teach their children what responsible drinking looks like. You might also say that it’s a violation of personal freedom to tell responsible adults what they can and cannot drink in the privacy of their own home.

You would be absolutely right, and all of your arguments would apply equally to psychedelics.

Sincerely, A psychedelics connoisseur

Okay, I’ll bite. What is it about psychedelics that makes you think they should be banned?

fauxtran was right there

If you mean stuff like Fantastic Planet, The Thief and the Cobbler (Re-cobbled Cut) and The Glass Harmonica, then I love it.
