The U.S. placed psychedelics and marijuana in the most dangerous legal category
of drugs: Schedule 1. These were compounds considered to have
“a high potential for abuse” and “no currently accepted medical use.” Internationally, 34 UN member states
agreed to ban certain psychedelics. Nixon fired that guy who encouraged
the study of LSD and established a new government agency
dedicated to enforcing drug laws. Timothy Leary was sent to prison. And funding for psychedelics research
dried up. Regulatory approval
got next to impossible
