I think it is very important to understand that almost every existing substance can be abused, however, I also don't believe it is a matter of intellect or willpower but rather a result of todays society. It's the bureaucracy behind it. Funny thing is, even MDMA and LSD microdoses have been proven to help treating post traumatic stress disorders. What baffles me is how coffeine, nicotin and especially alcohol are widely accepted substances which in my opinion are just as bad or good as any of them. In Amsterdam you walk into a smartshop and you will be informed of all the harms, will be instructed on how to take any of the substances available there. They educate and people listen. Not everybody but most of them do. Banning something usually does more harm as it brings in the factor of excitement of doing something illegal. Lastly, reaching a different state of mind and starting to think a bit outside the box can certainly be considered a risk for governments. People start questioning our succes-driven society and that's a dangerous little thing for a supposably perfectly operating system. Great post!
