Description
Alcohol and tobacco, which you are free to legally consume as you should be, are HIGHLY addictive substances and are responsible for millions of deaths to date. Yet psilocybin, a substance that literally enables parts of your brain to communicate that otherwise could not, is well tolerated by our bodies as well as being non-addictive, is considered 'dangerous' by the U.S. government, and its use can land you in prison.
This is a messed up world we live in.

Its almost as if addiction to a product helps companies sell it or something

We are a society that doesn't understand drugs, why people take them or why people become addicts. Instead, we stick to an insane policy of puritanical drug abstinence and prohibition, and incriminate/incarcerate the victims, while funneling billions of dollars into drug wars and private prison systems. Luckily, some people, particularly the newer generation, are starting to get a grip on the situation. Hopefully, when we finally get rid of all the old McCarthy-ist asswipes in charge who defined their lives as being anti-hippy, and continue to see everything through that prism, we'll get policies that make more sense.

It's because of stuff like that I say: Ignorance is NOT bliss! Because ignorance is fucking harmful to all of us!

Absolutely. At least half of our harmful policies are due to sheer ignorance.

It's the centuries of culturally ingrained use. If Alcohol or tobacco were introduced today, it would be banned for sure.

That's very possible. Great insight

Very true. Before refrigeration, there was actually a time when it was probably much safer to drink alcohol than water. In fact, that was probably the case for the vast majority of human history after the discovery of fermentation. It's hard to wipe out that many centuries of habit and acceptance.

'Course, we've had refrigeration since the time the cellar was invented... which was long after, of course. I reckon that even if it were just a few hundred years of cultural ingrainment, as opposed to hundreds of thousands, we'd still have alcohol deeply normalised.
