I mean if there were enough studies proving the benefits then I suppose, but otherwise I know from experience how much strain they can put on perception and conception, while they can change the way you look at the world and your life, some people just aren't suited for it and take away nothing but bad emotions and thoughts from the experience.

Although, a lot of the time that seems to be the result of taking a bunk dose or too much of a legit one so I guess if it was regulated then the chances of that would be reduced.

Do you feel that way about shrooms? Especially considering they are nearly impossible to become addicted to.

I'm not concerned with addiction. And psilocin has given many I know extremely 'crushing' experiences before, myself included. And I know that not everyone has to right mindset to handle that.

Like I said though, regulation would reduce the chances of that happening, however the possibility remains. People need to understand that psychedelics, while they can be fun, are much more than just 'have a good time' party drugs, and the psychedelic experience can be very overwhelming. I just think people should understand them before they jump right into taking them.

For example, you have kids smoking salvia thinking it's gonna be some kind of fun trippy high, and they end up having experiences as intense as what DMT would give you. And when they come down, they just aren't the same. The average person will get over an experience like that, but some people hold onto it for a long time.

I guess the point I'm trying to get at, is that they shouldn't really be treated as recreational substances, and if they're ever going to be used medicinally then it should be handled in a way that is different from marijuana. A way to help prevent the 'let celebrate and get high' mentality that surrounds other drugs.

I believe many psychedelic drugs may have medicinal properties, but to say that they're medically viable in the form you can buy on the street is absurd. It needs to be refined and regulated before being prescribed to patients. Cannabis has many medicinal uses, but a good doctor isn't going to just write a script for the same shit a 15 year old is selling behind the bleachers at lunch time.

"mild psychedelic" seems like an oxymoron

like "casual sex"

Cannabis isn't a psychedelic

So true

It's actually not true, Cannabis IS a psychedelic.
You probably only think that because the effects are so mild for most people.

while cannabis may produce very minor visuals and hallucinations with some people, it doesn't even compare to the real psychedelic experiences that come with LSD, shrooms, DMT, etc.

psychedelics are not limited to visual/auditory hallucinations. For example: MDMA, a very powerful psychedelic produces no hallucinations but can cause a huge change in perception.
