Is an antidepressant a crutch to get through every day life that deserves the same scrutiny? Just about any psychoactive drug can and will be abused by someone, that doesn't mean they can't help when taken properly under the supervision of a professional. It's not worth discarding a potential treatment because people might abuse it

You may be right about not disregarding therapies because someone might abuse them.

The main issue I have is that I don’t want the only legal method of consuming these mushrooms to be with a yuppy doctor who is so far detached from the cultural significance of entheogenic plants, and calls it “therapy.” This feels like a grift!
