We're seeing a lot of articles starting to praise the use of psychedelics. This seems a bit dangerous - these are serious drugs that can potentially mess you up - I'm not saying that they shouldn't be used, but it would be nice if interested people (people who are going to try them anyway) could go somewhere and have some medical/therapeutic guidance through their experience. It would be so much safer.

I don’t feel that it should be required to have “authoritative” guidance in order to have psychedelic experiences. I feel that’s better served by a more shamanistic role, as medical settings are the last place I’d ever want to trip. People need to be taught about tolerance, and about the paramount important of mindset (and to a slightly lesser extent setting) when it comes to psychedelics.

This can be done only once its fully legal to consume it (and all related legality ie for certified business to obtain and dispense it, growers to produce it etc) - fix this part, and apart from desperate dirtbags folks will go that way.

I wholly agree with you - its an extremely powerful tool, can do a lot of good and bad, with no certain prior indication which way it will happen.
