I mean if you're already planning on giving a terminally ill person LSD, why not slip them some MDMA, benzodiazepines, and opiates, too?

You're getting downvoted but when I do psychedelics I take a small dose of opiates to ensure it doesn't spiral into fear and paranoia. If the goal of theraputic use of psychedelics is to create a deeply seated positive experience, I don't see why mixing a little bit of warm fuzzies into it would be determental.

Opiates are highly addictive. Want a warm fuzzy experience? Mesc. Want a theraputic experience? Mdma. Opiates are playing with fire though.

I'm only using opiates as an example. In my experience no psychoactive drug has the exact same effect on different people.

we do give many terminally ill people opiates, a lot and of very strong opiates. What do you think fentanyl is? An illegal drug to cut heroine? No. It is a very powerful medical drug prescribed to cancer patients in particular (especially toward the end when less powerful opiates start to be not enough - IANAD, just common knowledge)
