I found the question come up on both communist and anarchist subs, and the difference in responses was quite striking.

As a longtime PTSD sufferer who self-medicates to the hilt just to do simple things like fall asleep or leave the house, the idea that I would either lose access to, be forced underground, or prosecuted for my recreational habits terrifies me.

I understand the rationale is in a functioning communist state, I would no longer feel the need for those drugs. Does it follow the science of recreational marijuana, psychedelics, ADHD, anxiety, depression, etc.? Or is the ambition to ween everyone off? And does that apply for all manner of distraction and entertainment as well?

      I don’t see why they need to be regulated much, there are already countries where drugs like mushrooms are legal and it doesn’t seem to cause much of a problem.

      For psychedelics (including Cannabis, even it's a very lightweight one in that respect) at least, the only regulation should be prohibiting their sale to minors. Doubly so since those specific drugs have spiritual/religious use.

        with the exception of marijuana which is popular with wealthy and middle class people and so progress has been made on that front.

        Why is nobody trying to legalize cocaine then?
