On the other extreme - countries which ban all kinds of drugs (including alcohol) are seeing strong religious domination, which leads to extremism and terrorism, so total prohibition of altered states of consciousness is also bad.

And here I thought the causality went the other way; that is that religions like to ban alternative (ie, non-religious) means of altering your state.

Silly me.
