The assumption that all individuals respond the same to all substances is hugely inaccurate. Furthermore, if you simply ban the altered state its self (which is what is required to preban drugs), you are also banning endogenous compounds as well as neuron states or other chemical aspects of consciousness such as cellular Calcium flux. How can a prohibitionist policy banning Dimethyltryptamine be philosophically consistent if that exact chemical is produced endogenously (to make it a little easier to understand)? Accepting endogenous DMT as legal simply produces a procedural prohibition since it is obviously "OK" if it exists by one route but not another.
