The press has done a good job of scaring the shit out of people:

If you watch Joe Rogan you'll often hear something like "if only more people took psychedelics, the world would be a much better place".

There are places, like Peru, where psychedelics were in widespread usage for a thousand years. Yet Peru is not associated with an utopia, the best place to be on Earth, or anything of that sort.

If such a hyper bacteria were possible it would have happened a long time ago. Bacteria must adapt and compete on many axes, there is no silver bullet. Don't forget that antibiotics were invented by nature (penicillium).

Selling cocaine/heroin at the corner grocery shop would bring in billions of dollars of sales. Just imagine tens of millions of people buying their daily does.

So if following the money is the answer, why doesn't this happen?
