You can say the same for marijuana and alcohol, with alcohol being worse than marijuana and psilocybin mushrooms (in terms of toxicity and violent behavior) yet being not only legal, but even culturally encouraged (see what happens when you turn down a drink at a party). Psilocybin and marijuana also have more medicinal value than alcohol. One of the most unsettling thing about the war on drugs is that we've rejected data and embraced misinformation. In terms of addiction and toxicity, psilocybin mushrooms are fairly benign; comparing them to opioids is like comparing coffee to opioids (yet opioids are still used medicinally while psilocybin mushrooms aren't).
