Interesting, I saw an article claiming it narrowly failed a bit ago and was saddened.
I have never tried them personally, but I suspect the threat of being arrested makes it harder to have a good "set and setting".
I know that I never enjoyed cannabis until a trip to a place it was legal. Knowing that I was 100% ok to imbibe took away all my worries about detection, people knowing I was high, etc, and let me enjoy the experience.
Yes, it's really a completely different experience (in a better way) compared to how it was back in highschool sneaking around with little baggies of weed.
Shrooms are very different. Brain chemistry almost impossible to predict ~ you may think you have a good set and setting, and then get permanently damaged.
Got a source that shows, empirically, you're more likely to be permanently damaged from taking psilocybin than while commuting to work, jogging, swimming, or doing any other normal life activity?
Sure, I'm not going to argue with you that some people shouldn't be doing these things alone. Shit, I would even argue that someone experienced actually should probably be around to assist and guide. Shamans, witches, clergy, magicians, psychologists, gurus, life coaches, etc.... there's no shortage of archetypes to fit the paradigm. It's a real thing, and we should support it.
... and if someone wants to just go trip and journey on their own... they should be allowed... and we should do all we can to help them prepare.
? I believe the people who went through such experiences.
In my mind it is like riding a bicycle. Sometimes you get permanently damaged from circumstances you can’t control. Not sure why mentioning the risk is triggering...

This paper merely suggests that a drug used for treating schizophrenia can inhibit some aspects of the experiences that individuals have on psylocibin. The paper does not suggest long term damage and if it did, the study would have been terminated early and psylocibin would not be acceptable for continued research in Switzerland (where the study was conducted) or in the US.
