I go back to the 60’s, so the drug laws did fine until the cultural norms were challenged and then the injurious behavior was challenged and promoted in the media, the institutions, and the arts.
That society had received willing compliance with good laws because they were a wiser people. This only changed when their culture was attacked. I think by agents of evil. The liberals would say that were expanding folks’ horizons. In the garden, the serpent said the fruit would actually be good, expanding their horizons, despite what God said.
As far as “expanding horizons”, psychoactive drugs in a carefully dosed and controlled environment can give creative people new ideas and understanding. I have known many people during in my career who developed revolutionary ideas based on new psychedelic perceptions. More advancements in math, engineering and computing have been sparked by psychedelics than we may ever know.
Does God, the Creator, want us to use them? I think He does if used responsibly and with intentions that follow God's word. Why else would He have placed these tools on every corner of the Earth?
Just like He placed iron for us everywhere that can be used for good AND evil. It is not the object, but rather the user and the intent. Arbitrarily outlawing tools He left for us and not even studying them is extremely ignorant IMO.
