Re: why are intoxicants seen in a negative light?

I see nothing wrong with mature adults taking whatever intoxicants they like, surely nobody with a liberal attitude will think otherwise. However, we live in a monetary society where if you are hooked on something like heroin and you can't afford it, you invariably turn to crime to pay for your fix. That's not an indictment of the drug itself, rather it is society at fault.
I would love to be able to experiment with hallucinogenic plants, especially with dmt, without a worry in the world. It is such a shame that a completely harmless drug like dmt (just a more potent version of mushrooms) is illegal for me to consume in the privacy of my own home. It's a sad state of affairs in the so - called "free" world.
