i do think it would be good to do further study on drugs we have outlawed, perhaps overly hastily. but just because something makes you "feel good" in the short term doesn't necessarily mean it's good for you in the long term. that goes for drugs that are both legal and illegal
-
also, it might be better to treat the underlying reasons why so many people are "feeling bad" in present times. i'm pretty sure it's rare that people feel bad for no reason (i.e. their brain chemistry is simply randomly fucked up or they are predisposed to depression genetically)

Sometimes even as emergency intervention, sometimes long-term. Horrorstories self-replicate because so much of the phys. damage done = consequence of ignorance, which = consequence of prohibition &/or (social damage) of $ cost = definitely consequence of prohibition.

no greater crime than making people feel good
