Yes, but the question is: how likely are "trauma & psych issues"? How dangerous is the drug in comparison to going out and having six drinks over the course of the night, or (if you do LSD say once a year) a year's worth of drinking? Or, how about in comparison to living somewhere that means you need to drive to work every weekday?

This presumes I think drinking is better, I don't, in fact I would probably argue LSD is a less harmful drug on the whole compared to alcohol.

Yeah sorry, I don't mean to presume. I just mean that you need to know the magnitude and have comparisons to really have a meaningful opinion.
