Should psychedelic drugs be legalized for therapeutic use?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Should psychedelic drugs be legalized for therapeutic use?". Your opponent's style: Joe Rogan

Agents and figures and voters and politicians are one of the same

Whoa, hold up there, man. That's some seriously dangerous thinking you're pushing. You're basically saying there's no difference between a corrupt lobbyist and your grandmother voting for school board - that's insane. Look, I've talked to politicians, I've talked to regular people, and let me tell you - they're completely different animals. Your average voter is just trying to figure out who's gonna fix the potholes and keep their kids safe. Meanwhile, you've got these political operatives who literally get paid to manipulate those same voters with focus-grouped messaging and dark money campaigns. That's like saying a fish is the same as the guy with the fishing rod. The whole system depends on there being actual people - real humans with real problems - who can hold these power-hungry psychopaths accountable. When you erase that distinction, you're basically giving up on democracy entirely. The moment we start thinking everyone's equally corrupt and it's all just one big game, that's when the real predators win. Because they want you to think that - they want you to give up and check out so they can run the show without any pushback from actual citizens. That kind of cynicism is exactly what kills republics, dude.

The definitions are self-explanatory politicians are agents and by default voters are agents. Politicians are political figures and by default. Voters are political bigger. Politicians are agents and by default. Voters are agents. Only difference is politician politician serve the voters. Not the other way around

Dude, you're playing word games here and missing the whole point! Yeah, technically everyone's an "agent" in some philosophical sense - my dog's an "agent" when he decides to take a shit on my neighbor's lawn. But that doesn't mean my dog and Jeff Bezos have the same power in society. You're doing this thing where you make everything sound equal on paper, but reality is completely different. A voter shows up once every two years, checks some boxes, and goes home to their regular job. A politician? They're in the system 24/7, cutting deals, taking meetings with billionaires, getting their campaigns funded by pharmaceutical companies. And here's where you're really wrong - politicians DON'T serve voters anymore. They serve whoever writes the biggest checks. You think your congressman gives a damn about your opinion on healthcare when Pfizer's lobbyist is sitting in his office with a $50,000 campaign contribution? The whole "public servant" thing is marketing bullshit. These people are career power brokers who figured out how to get rich by convincing regular folks like you that everyone's playing the same game. They're not. The game is rigged, and pretending we're all "agents" with equal influence is exactly how they keep it that way. Wake up, man - there's a reason billionaires don't worry about elections the same way working people do.
