All substances that cause altered states are prohibited by governments. true/false

False.

Explanation:

There are several substances that cause altered states and although many of them are banned by the government for causing an imminent danger to society (such as psychedelic drugs), others are allowed by the government for being used in medicines as tranquilizers. Currently, it is preferred to designate these types of drugs by the name of anxiolytics, that is, that "destroy" (lysis) anxiety. In fact, this is the main therapeutic effect of these drugs: reducing or abolishing people's anxiety, causing a change in the emotional state of individuals.
