The argument against hallucinogenic drugs

I have been thinking about this a lot. I am wondering why there has been such great anger against weed and other similar drugs that tend to open your mind. These drugs really do very little to you as compared to pharmaceutical drugs and alcohol. Yet , a large part of society appears to view hallucinogenic drugs as being the most dangerous drugs on earth.

Why is this the case? Since hallucinogenic drugs really are actually good for you what is the actual argument that the government uses to defend its anti weed/hallucinogenic policy?????

The government can label it as a schedule 1 drug like they do for LSD and Marijuana. They say there is no medical value in them. Yes, the good old government is a bit stupid at times.

I think part of the issue has to do with the ability to place a patent on the drugs. Most hallucinogenic drugs cannot be patented because they are in the public domain. This means that the pharmaceutical industry cannot make a profit from them. And for that reason, they lobby against their legalization in various ways.

I genuinely believe the government is against psychedelics because of the type of side effects they produce; empathy, spirituality, self sufficiency, and a motivation to create change.

That's some powerful medicine right there, the government couldn't hang.
