Because if the drugs were legal, the covetous government would not make immense sums of money from them. People would grow their own marijuana, mushrooms, etc.. People could make a living off of peddling drugs and the government would not receive a penny of their earnings. Also, countless amounts of people are still being brought up thinking that behind every drug user is a communist preparing to overthrow the government (or whatever), so the decriminalization of certain drugs could hurl the country into a monstrous imbroglio.
Psychological damage only occurs when a drug is being
abused. Those who are considering using drug(s) must be very educated and informed before doing so. Ingesting a large dose of LSD in an unfamiliar and unsafe environment is more than likely going to lead to a 'bad trip', and 'bad trips', at large doses, could potentially cause minor psychological damage. In rare cases, existing psychological disorders could be amplified by abuse of psychedelic drugs.
All of the drugs I listed to not cause lung cancer, or any kind of cancer for that matter. The only drug in that list that even affects a user's lungs is marijuana, and it does not cause cancer or any conspicuous lung damage. Recently some have been using smoking devices called 'Vaporizers' that allow a user to heat a substance to the exact temperature it needs to be heated to, to release
only the active chemicals. Those chemicals vaporize into a 'thin mist', rather than potentially harmful smoke.
