Nobody claims alcohol isn’t dangerous.

They’ve also fallen into psychosis from nothing at all

Now let’s list all of the statically negligible (and not) dangers of legal things like alcohol or sugar

Nobody is claiming alcohol and sugar are good for you.

No but you’re arguing that psychedelics should be illegal because they’re potentially not good for you (which is not really true anyway).

Just because you aren’t explicitly saying other things are good for you, doesn’t mean you’re not being totally inconsistent in your reasoning for why psychedelics should be illegal. Unless of course you think that everything that could have a potential harm should be illegal.

Where did I say they should not be legal? By all means they should, everyone has a right to bodily autonomy barring it doesn’t hurt anyone else. I am against saying they are magic beans with zero risk because that’s factually incorrect.
