To a certain extent, I think I understand. For people who have had only positive experiences with psychedelics, I'm sure it feels like the cheat code to life, and I can see why they'd want to share it. And I think some of them imagine themselves too smart or careful to get addicted, or maybe immune to addiction in the first place (and for a small number, that may even be true).

I've lost family to alcoholism and I struggle with binge eating as a coping mechanism, I'm damned wary of anything that could even potentially become a thing that I need to cope. I think some people will never understand that kind of thing until they see it firsthand.

Human condition and individual reaction to psychedelic substance are a huge spectrum. Even if you and your friends and friends of their friends are ok, there are legitimate evidence of psychoactive substance causing harm. Lots and lots of it.

It's irresponsible to give a blanket "ye'll be grand", or worse saying it's not possible. If it's itching to tell your story, tell it but just wrap it in your opinion and zip at that.

I grew up in a cheap tourism town where hearing that someone died thanks to substance abuse was nearly a daily occurrence. Paired with my already stated easily addicted personality. I've made the choice not to want any drugs on my life
