Yes they are currently illegal. Yes, they can cause mental problems in a small minority of users. No, I am not suggesting BAUT members use illegal substances.

I am saying that (edit) some current illegal drugs should NOT be illegal. I think we need to open up research into said drugs so their benefits can be proven scientifically and experientially once and for all. The neuroses inflicted upon a terribly small minority pales in comparisons to the destructive affects of currently legal drugs. And I am merely giving my perspective on experiences I have had. I have stated many times that caution, knowledge, and sensibility are the best approach to using ANY drug.
