lmao yeah gatekeeping religion would do wonders. But that's not happening.

I was trying to be realistic with my suggestion there. We know for a fact that brains finish up development when we're 25, and you can't ignore the fact that psychedelics fuck with your brain rather hard, be it good or bad - they still do do that. If we were to try and convince "the masses" that LSD is good actually, we'd need to acknowledge that it can be dangerous & suggest appropriate action for mitigating those risks.

I was in a rush in the morning, but if I wasn't I'd also add something like: "and for those who would benefit from psychedelics for the purpose of medical therapy, a doctor's note should allow them to buy them before they turn 25" or something
