17. Illegalities

You make excellent points about the creative benefits of psychedelics. But, what's standing in the way of society going forward in this field is, obviously, the illegal status of these substances. Considering that so many innovations have come about with the help of LSD, etc., you'd think governments, Big Pharma, and every other power would be working overtime to loosen the laws. Why wouldn't they want to use whatever is available to create the next BIG THING(s)? Even a baby step-like only allowing mental health professionals to prescribe to patients-would be helpful.
p.s. For the record, I've only tried psychedelics (LSD) once, many decades ago, just because they are now illegal. Hope the law changes.
