While most people harping on the "there are no known negative health effects." claim are talking about the drugs making people crazy I would point out that some psychedelics can also make people become sick. It passes, no long term harm, but it still seems like a miserable time and one I'd call a "negative health effect".

Sure, too much alcohol can cause people to get sick too, but then nobody ever said alcohol had "no known negative health effects" either.



Remember when you compare the health effects, public health or private health, of LSD and alcohol, you are making a strong recommendation for LSD.
