>A bad trip can result in a massive setback in terms of one's mental health -- which can take months or even years to overcome
This is extremely rare. For perspective, there are people who drink once and overdo it, and end up dying in accidents or fights. But no one talks about it because it's equally rare and alcohol is socially accepted.
>People on mushrooms occasionally do really stupid shit.
Sober people do really stupid shit all the time, too.
Anecdotally I've taken 6g of dried shrooms (they are decriminalized here, for what that's worth) and was still able to refill my coffee and walk up and down a flight of stairs without spilling it or falling. I still wouldn't drive like that, but liquor impairs my fine motor skills a lot more. Driving myself to the hospital if I had to would've been possible off shrooms, but I can't say the same about half a bottle of whiskey.
Every drug is slightly different for every individual and no two highs are identical, sure, but for most nothing bad happens with psychedelics.
