Even the article you linked suggests prohibition isn't the solution. It suggests a more balanced approach, i.e. regulation.
That is what Oregon is trying with psilocybin.
edit:
This also misses an important part of this whole conversation, personal liberty. I don't want to have my government determining what I can and cannot consume, as long as I can do so without causing others harm.
>In particular, the data show that prohibition works in general, whether it be drugs or alcohol.
Opioid overdoses are at an all time high, despite prohibition.
Even US alcohol Prohibition wasn't an effective solution to America's drinking problem. A much more effective solution was what followed Prohibition; *regulation*.
So-called conservative drug policy has been an abject failure. It walked us into an opioid addiction crisis that has cost taxpayers billions of dollars. Those laws are neither followed or enforced effectively.
I'd rather have liberty than a failing drug policy.
Your take is gutless.
