Agreed, and we see in this in particular with the fervor to try and create “non hallucinogenic psychedelics “

This cracks me up. We're still looking for the "Magic Pill".
If it alters the mind people will use it for fun.
And we can’t have fun here. We don’t want to treat people’s difficult issues in a way that encourages lazyness ;-)
Talk to anybody who's taken ibogaine and the last thing they'll say is that it was "fun"
There is more variety to peoples reception of the psychedelic experience than one might think.

There is (usually) no law against atropine and other Deliriants because they are not fun. No fun at all for most people

Drug users generally try those drugs once

Exactly. This is why people go to jail for having Benadryl
