Psychedelic Mushrooms Hit the Market in Oregon

Sure. But there are all sorts of negative side effects we should also be worrying about besides just dependence.

And we've also known about problems from psychedelic abuse for centuries. And we're talking about dumping them on the market with way less oversight than we did opioids!

It's like that truism about the military always fighting past wars...

I love psychedelics, but this list shouldn’t include psychotic breaks or detachment from reality. I say this from first (second?) hand experience of friends I’m close with.

Not that I disagree with the contents of your list, but the effects of psychedelics are not always positive.

your comment made me laugh, but -

you could say the same thing about alcohol, and I think you'd agree that alcohol is not an entirely benign substance.
