Errr...none of those are psychadelics?

Technically they are all psychoactive, but not chiefly or solely psychoactive - and usually also not hallucinogenic.

Psychedelic is not a right category anyway. It is a label given by users based on perceived effects.

I mean, "analgesic" is a label based entirely on perceived effects, and it's one of the most common medical drug classes (by sale volume).

That's not my point. My point is that J-dawg stated that the laws prohibiting drugs in the group that we as human beings who are not trying to deliberately misunderstand each other for internet points all understand as "psychedelics" are not based on evidence.

You stated that there were evidence based laws prohibiting a different set of drugs that are not in the group that we as human beings who are not trying to deliberately misunderstand each other for internet points all understand as "psychedelics".

Your assertion does not invalidate his statement.
