Buzz kill much?
Not so much a buzz kill if I can get high and kill someone with no repercussions because it was only a "hallucination"

The tidal wave can not be stopped, the ancient ones are awakening, and the bull(snip) has reached it`s expiration date.

True, but afterlife for example, it would be a mighty deed for science to measure, weigh and repeat in a controlled setting.
Science will always limit itself.

It doesn't work like that on so many different levels.

This is the problem. Lack of education on the subject

Some people are afraid of things they don't understand.
This like many things is a nuanced topic. The substance is physically safe, way safer than alcohol. A small minority of people may have adverse reactions that could lead them to doing something they otherwise would not do, this is the same for any other substance including pharmaceuticals (many of which have been associated with a larger amount of incidents).
The fact of the matter is it's absolutely silly that a government could think they can control how people decide to use their minds. The idea that they could tell someone it's off limits to ingest a natural and "safe" substance is foolish.
Whether or not it is criminalized will not stop people from their curiosity. Do we as a people want to pay for people to be jailed for a choice they made that effected no one else? I vote no. Personally I think that all drugs should be decriminalized (not to be confused with legal). Dealers of toxic drugs could still get punished, users would be helped. It's less strain on society in that way and more fiscally responsible and has better outcomes for all those involved. A few countries have proven this.

Magic mushrooms are the safest recreational drug, study says
Only .2% of almost 10,000 people who reported taking psilocybin hallucinogenic mushrooms in 2016 reported that they needed emergency medical treatment, according to the annual Global Drug Survey. The survey, of more than 120,000 participants in 50 countries, found that the rates of emergency medical treatment for MDMA, '___', alcohol and coc aine were almost five times higher
