Up until the mid 2000s, psychedelic mushrooms in their natural state were completely legal in the UK. They were banned based on virtual no evidence of harm or widespread abuse despite being used recreationally for decades, just because the government decided that they didn't seem like the kind of thing that should be legal.

They banned them because careless traders in places like Camden could buy them cheap from Holland and sell them with zero responsibility to anyone who wanted, including minors. I know this because I was in part responsible for opening up the gates, with a company that sold them very responsibly, starting in Camden.
