I don't find it good reasoning, pretty much all drugs can exasperate mental health issues. It doesn't make people violent or dangerous, I would consider alcohol far more dangerous than LSD.

I’m for changing the prohibition laws just to bankrupt the drug cartels. The dark market is the main problem. It’s why alcohol prohibition was undone.

Alcohol can't give you psychosis after taking it only one time (or it is at least far less likely. It also can't give you persistent hallucinations[1] or permanently change your personality[2]. (In most cases these changes may appear positive, but there is probably potential for negative personality changes, too.)

You can die your first time driving a car if you're an idiot too but we don't outlaw cars for everyone because idiots exist.

And I can accidentally stab myself with a knife, or crash a car, or slip and crack my skull on a hard surface, or a million other things. Life is dangerous, and there are a nearly infinite number of things more dangerous than these drugs.
This moralism isn't about safety, it's about control, and because of that it's ironically immoral as fuck.
Calling other moralists with negative intent, because they disagree with you is not very constructive and contributing to anything. Critics of certain drugs do certainly have good reasoning. LSD may not be as damaging as alcohol, heroin or crystal meth, but it’s certainly proven to boost psychosis episodes.
