13. Let's do some math

Your cited article says 8.5% of adults have taken psilocybin. I'd have guessed a much lower number, but it's your source, so we'll use it.

That's right around 20 million people.

If the drug is so terribly risky and dangerous, you'd think some significant number of people would have had whatever bad effects you fear.

If even 10% had a bad outcome, that would be 2 million bad outcomes.

Do you think that would not be all over the news?

There's no absolutely safe medication. Why get all excited about a substance that, honestly, has a very low incidence of negative effects?
