Drug-haters portray ALL drugs as too dangerous for human consumption. On this chart, a number of drugs have been placed, according to how deadly and how addictive they are. The further to the right, the greater the overdose death risk. The higher up, the greater the addiction danger. Note the locations of LSD, Caffeine and Heroin. The real truth about drugs is that some of them are profoundly less dangerous than the most dangerous ones.
Most country's drug laws are a load of BS. This chart plots 20 common recreational drugs by how harmful they are according to a survey of British mental health experts. The color codes show the legal status in Britain. Red drugs are completely prohibited. Green and Blue ones are highly controlled as prescription drugs. Grey ones are essentially uncontrolled. If the UK's regulations made sense, the drugs on the far left would all be red (prohibited) and the ones on the far right would be grey (mostly uncontrolled). These drug laws are literally "MIXED UP". The current drug laws of the United States are equally nonsensical, showing little relation between the true danger of a drug and its legal status.
From this drug danger chart, you can see that there are a few drugs that are not quite as dangerous as most. These drugs have been demonized and criminalized far beyond their actual danger.
Numerous recent scientific studies have been done where patients have taken LSD, Psilocybin "magic mushrooms" or similar drugs and experienced a significant improvement in an addiction, depression, PTSD and other mental health problems.
