> I don't believe other people should be in charge of my medical treatment. The system has been doing an abysmal job with all related topics, what makes you think top-down control is what we need here too?

If anything, the opioid crisis shows that there hasn't been enough control on drugs that alter people perception and/or feeling. In countries were more control over the usage of these compounds is mandatory (eg: Europe, where doctors have to justify each dose they prescribe and where stats are made about who prescribes more than usual), usage is possible for the people who actually need them, and no one is talking about widespread abuse. Countries were not enough control was imposed (eg: US, where you can get you hand on some by talking to the right doctor for very minor symptoms), usage exploded.

And although psychedelic tend to be less addictive than opioids, they definitely can be abused in a similar fashion because of the similar "escape on reality" they provide.

Maybe you think you'd be better off if no one was keeping in check with your drug usage. But history shows that society as a whole wouldn't.
