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.
