If mental addiction ist a reasonable ground for prohibiton let's start with chocolate.
We are talking about LSD here, not cocaine which actually makes it Impossible to feel happy during the withdrawl. That is physical addiction, not mental addiction. Please do not confuse them.
Cocaine abuse drains your dopamine levels to a point where you need the drug in order to feel any sort of positivity. LSD does not.
If you abuse LSD it actually stops working. You build up tolerance and are forced to recover before you are able to trip again.
None of your points gives me the feeling that you actually understand the topic, nor do any of them strike me as convincing cause for prohibition as I can find many legal examples that would have to be illegal by the same logic.
Read my previous post, I explained it there. People will use black market to obtain psychedelics even if it gets legalised.
Please explain the relevance. Same goes for all items imaginable.
There is probably black market ice cream.
LSD is very very easy to obtain. Illegal or not. It is high in demand and someone will fill the gap. Why not slap taxes and licenses on it and get some quality control.
You cited alcohol as example for substance abuse caused by legalisation. Let me ask you: Have you ever heard of Al Calpone?
