Phenibut is horrific and should be banned. I thought I could control it, but I couldn't.

I tried it once years ago.
Amazingly potent. I considered finding applications for it, but alas, I had no use for it.
Seems like a WW2 drug like amphetamines: Sure works wonders if you’re patching up people, going through horrors like a breeze. But it ain’t a peace-time nootropic with minimal downside.

Because you have no self control a substance should be banned.
Cool world that would be to live in.

These drugs chemically change the brain, so your brain might fall into a state where you lose control.
Drugs often get pulled decades after being approved, usually because the safety studies were not expansive enough to give a complete picture of the danger. For example: Varenicline.

Just like all drugs, but the downsides of criminalization have been obvious for decades. I don't see a solution that isn't all drugs being cheap and legal.
