I have lost over $500 in my last 3 orders back to back. First Lucydrop I stupidly FE because they asked me to and I had no problems ordering before and now never received. Then an MDMA dealer who sent me only 5 grams when I ordered 10 grams. Then an LSD I ordered 40 tabs and never received. He wrote that if I left a good feedback and released btc he will reship 25 and I never received. There is not enough protection for buyers

No, you just acted stupid.
"DO NOT FE!" unless you have received the complete product.
One rule, obey it or get fucked. I'm sorry but it doesn't get any simpler than that.
Report the scammers to the SR crew.

When you FE, you lose your buyer protection - why on earth would you ever FE?
If you're having this much trouble on SR then you should change your method of choosing vendors and your way of using SR. I've been here for close to a year and have done 52 transactions with 0% refund 0% auto-finalize and I have never been scammed because I don't ever FE and I research research research and research some more while choosing who I do business with.
When shopping on SR, use your street smarts/street copping skills because both will be extremely beneficial to you here.

The escrow system is in place for your protection. As long as you stay in escrow, your money is safe. The moment you CHOOSE to leave that escrow system, there is nothing SR can do to protect you or offer support in cases of scams. There is NO reason to finalize early - we warn against it over and over and over again everywhere here!
I'm sorry that you've lost money, but there is a relatively simple step you can take to prevent this in the future:
ALWAYS STAY IN ESCROW.

As scout has stated, the escrow system is there for your protection! This is MORE than enough protection for buyers. Silk Road is not - in any way - responsible for money that is released from the escrow system. When you finalise an order you are stating that it has been received and everything is satisfactory. That is the definition of finalised. ???
