Why can’t we just be happy they’re thinking of legalizing psychedelics because they’re a lot of fun and fairly safe compared to alcohol?

Think of how good pop music will be again!

Also regular life is fairly traumatic and alternating. Doing therapeutic fun things with friends is rejuvenating and helpful for everyone not just those facing serious issues.

Nothing stops people from putting Ornette Colman and Pink Floyd on the radio. You don't need drugs just effort to appreciate them.

Legality (or lack thereof) doesn't appear to have stopped many musicians before.

"fairly safe compared to alcohol" is a pretty low bar
