I have always had trouble with governments regulating plants that grows in the wild.
Cannabis and magic mushrooms come to mind.
The old myths about LSD and psilocybin making people jump off buildings is still the prime focus of the old propaganda machine parked up in the corner, also known as a TV.
Here in the super great UK. If you are seen by a police officer bending over in a field picking magic mushrooms he will arrest you for possesion of a controlled drug. If the police officer sees you pass them to your friends he will also arrest for intent to supply a controlled drug. A long prison sentence just around the corner.
Shame they dont have the same concerns about GM foods and all the chemicals/pesticides farmers spray onto crops which then runs off into our, used to be lovely, rivers.
For me this is not about protecting the public but about controlling the public.
This document proposes a way to make all the things you mentioned legal within a regulatory framework. It suggests that we should legalize all not-for-profit growing, foraging and sharing of plant- and fungus-based psychedelics, and that we should allow commercial outlets to sell them, but with regulation on packaging and on who can operate said outlets (tobacco companies should not)
