LSD and other psychedelics actually have incredibly low harm potential. They're usually at the absolute very bottom of any harm chart.
In fact, mushrooms and LSD are the two least harmful recreational drugs per the Economist chart from 2010. Number 1 is alcohol and number 2 is heroin and crack. Meth is a pretty distant 4th. [1]
They're not addictive, in no small part because they're not really "fun" in the classic way cocaine is. They're interesting, but you're really not in a hurry to do them again. Further, the LD-50 is really, really, really high.
