To use a still of any capacity to distil alcohol such as spirits, you must have an excise manufacturer licence.
Severe penalties apply for manufacturing spirits without an excise manufacturer licence.[1]
Although, in practice, I can’t say I’ve ever heard of a case of someone being fined for making spirits at home, and you’d probably have to repeatedly offend that particular law in order to be sentenced to a term of imprisonment.

Cannabis was downgraded from class A to a class C drug in the UK in 2004, but was upgraded to class B five years later. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drugs_controlled_by_the_UK_Mis...
It was downgraded from class B. It was never class A. The next government returned it to class B because "drugs bad".

In Norway you can get up to 6 months in prison for selling alcohol that is over 60% ethanol by volume. Up to 2 years if the offense is "particularly serious".

For personal use, sure, you'll probably get away with it. Try selling it and see what happens.

Dosage is important. There isn't a way to test for potency which would ensure a reliable dose.
Argument fallacies:
* your anecdotal positive experiences
* suggesting superiority because something is "from nature"
* referring to "mistakes from the past" without naming any
* suggesting superiority that "has been (done) for thousands of years"
