I'm not saying the stigma was deserved, just saying it was ammo for opponents to make these drugs schedule 1 to "protect the children".

It's kind of how crypto has a reputation for buying drugs online and money laundering. When something gets tainted like that it's hard to shake it.

It's a chicken and egg thing. What I'm saying is the scheduling and bad reputation came after the reckless use of the 60's - not before.
