    That’s not how anecdotal evidence works.

      I didn’t say about anything about how it works, simply that we need research, randomized controlled trials, actual data on all of psychedelics. Which means they need to be legalized first.

        already done. First what do you think they do to ban them ? Second they are banned for sale to the public but experiments are done regularly

        Research, randomized controlled trials and actual data will lot remove anecdotal evidence.

        That’s not how anecdotal evidence works.

        Anecdotal evidence is derived from personal experience. And is usually contrary or constrictive of what has been researched.

          I’m well aware of how it works. Are you saying that anecdotal evidence should be given the same weight as randomized controlled trials? Research doesn’t remove it, but it sure carries a lot more weight.

          My point about legalization still stand regardless of what type of evidence we are talking about.
