Because that shit will fuck you up. For life. It's scary how so many of the really dangerous recreational drugs are so easily available while the arguably-less-harmful (and, yes, all drugs have potential for harm) are completely illegal.
lsd my beloved :( ostracised because they had to put hippies in prison for something. schedule I with no medical uses my ass too, that ban stopped every ongoing research into how lsd could help in psychiatry, and though research wasn't finished it sure as hell didn't look like it was useless. The US drug enforcement administration lied in nearly every single part of their statement following the ban
US Government: "A substance that makes people more empathetic? This could destroy the American way of life!"
bruh you have no idea how correct you are on that
"By the mid-1960s the backlash against the use of LSD and its perceived corrosive effects on cultural values resulted in governmental action to restrict the availability of the drug by making use of it illegal.[29]"
now let's all have a sit down and think about the state of the "cultural values" if feeling love towards your fellow human beings, and jamming to music is somehow corrosive to them... just- i have no idea how people fell for that bullshit
