As someone with a lot of experience with psilocybin, there's all this mysticism around it. People act like you're injecting fentanyl. If someone doesn't have a license and training, you're going to instantaneously see flying demon dragons and go schizophrenic.
It's actually fairly tolerant over quite a large range and I know a lot of people who have used over the last year and they are all in spectacular shape.
It reminds me about all that nonsense on HN last year about how if you weren't tested and trained on wearing N95 masks, you wouldn't be able to use them effectively. People over-rate licensing.
