"I do not seek to lose myself in the abandon of an artificial state of euphoria, and thus risk losing myself."

'Artificial state of euphoria,' eh? There are a few out there... cocaine, ritalin, heroin... but a) usually not, and b) those are usually intensely addictive.

...which I suppose is what you mean by 'losing yourself.' Read up; scheduling does not automatically make a thing addictive, nor its absence, nonaddictive.

You might wish to do the research before you speak as from authority. The substance mentioned has utterly different effects than those you purport for all scheduled and no non-regulated substances.
