We live in a world of trade-offs.

I would rather live in a world where people with real psychological problems can get help and you can get high than the reverse.

And how about people without real psychological problems who ruin their lives?

Psychiatry has a rolling history where everything that was done 30 years ago is so barbarous that the treatments are criminalize, and it has been that way for a century. At what point are we going to realize that there is no baby in the bathwater?
