To the poster that says the licenses would be based on IQ tests, that's absolute bullshit and is one of the worse ways that I could think to hand out "licenses".
Seriously.
Also those of you who think keeping certain drugs illegal don't "get it". People will obtain whatever they want regardless of the legality of said item, and why would you want to lock anyone up for any victimless crime?
Exactly. The legal status of a drug deters only a few people and I'm sure a lot of people who drink copious amounts of alcohol would probably benefit, mentally and physically, if they used some other, currently illegal drugs instead of drinking everytime they felt like getting "fucked up". That's not to say that people who use, for example, LSD or shrooms can't turn out to be totally mindless idiots like anybody else... but they should, at least, have the option of using something besides alcohol if they so desire. Protecting people from themselves just turns them into children. Let people make adult decisions so they can learn adult lessons. If some frat-boy jerkoff wants to dive headfirst into 5gs of cubensis like a moron he'll probably get his ass-kicked, learn his lesson, and stick to booze and bong-hits.
I also don't think the license concept is a very good idea. Requiring people who use psychedelic drugs to acquire a license will only complicate matters to the point of causing all sorts of unintended consequences and, accordingly, encourage people who can use these substances to have an elitist attitude towards those who can't.
I would say that alcohol is regulated pretty efficiently ATM and any other drug should have similar guidelines applied (although I do think the drinking age should be lowered to, at least, 18 in many places). People/businesses who sell any drug should definitely be required to get some sort of licensing in the same way that it's required of alcohol... but nobody should need a license to use such substances or produce them for their own partaking. Doing such a thing will just create another sort of drug using criminal class that burdens society with law enforcement, court and prison costs.

Bullshit OP. You've never taken just one hit of some L only to find out a little bit later you should have taken more? Also, I've tripped multiple times within in one month...
I used to think psychedelics should be legal, but now I'm not to sure. I can see a lot of problems coming from psychedelics being legal. Imagine if LSD was legal and any idiot could go to a local store and buy some? That wouldn't be good. I know enough people who thought they could handle LSD, who have had drug experience, only to take it and get fucked.
Of course, if someone looks hard enough they can find it but thats the key point you have to look its not just there.

if you dont even know the word "hallucinogens", you dont have a say. in fact, i dont even think this word would be enitirely correct. it would have to be psychedelics or deliriants.
