Sure, our opinions don't matter but our votes do.
As to drugs, well, they're being looked at right now for their therapeutic effects in conditions such as intractable depression, PTSD and OCD. Psilocybin, LSD, MDMA, and DMT are some of the candidate drugs.
Some of these drugs have had a profound positive impact for quite a number of users. And Bobby some have been brought closer to God.
A few scientists investigating them, and some philosophers and psycholigists, think some drugs have actually given users a peek into alternate dimensions.
( And before some see an opportunity here, [img][b]no I have never taken any drugs. However, I'm intrigued by the research done with respect to DMT aka the Spirit Molecule.)

But you would never know what those drugs could do to you.
You might achieve spiritual meaning to life but
you could also end up as a dribbling vegetable.
True, but they mostly don't do that. It's like the Covid vaccine, some suffered adverse effects but most didn't. Also, which drugs, combinations and quantity would be key.
Alcohol, for example, does more damage, if taken in excess or in some cases moderately, than DMT would ever do.
In spite of the possible negative effects, there is sufficient upside in various drugs for them to be considered as therapeutic agents in the near future.
The Hippies were on to something...
