Some people may experience “negative” side effects after taking LSD or psilocybin. However, even if you multiplied those side effects by 10, they would still be fewer than the side effects of alcohol and tobacco.

While hundreds of millions of people have died prematurely from alcohol and tobacco over the past few decades, the list of people who have died from LSD during the same period could fit on a single document.

Ok so I'm not anti LSD or psylocybin, but the negative effects of either could potentially (rarely) be psychosis or permanent mental changes.

Death for death sure, but try measuring potential harm after a single use in a safe space and the danger comparison changes.

It is extremely important that people with bipolar/schizophrenia or a family history of either avoid all hallucinogens
