There are more recorded cases of people committing murders while drunk, yet we don’t ban alcohol.
There are also anecdotes of people committing murders blacked out on xanax, yet doctors still prescribe it.
There are more cases of vehicular homicide by a wide margin, yet driving is still legal.
Those who do have psychotic episodes as a result of psychedelics plausibly have had an underlying schizophrenic condition (

You can't really moderate something, as soon as it becomes legal in any level people will find ways to get their hands on the supply and deal it illegally.
The whole point of legalising weed was never to reduce consumption or get it off the “streets”, which is why you have independent small business owners working in the weed industry popping up in legal states generating income not only for themselves but tax revenue for the state. Also, you can argue that lsd is easier to get with weed considering you can buy a whole sheet of it online and have it shipped to your house. Anyone who wants lsd doesn’t even need an in-person dealer to get it. Legalisation will lead to better access to education regarding psychedelics and decriminalisation of these substances that are not only nearly impossible to overdose on, but also are not physically addictive.
