I know your playing devils advocate but I still don't understand why people lump psychedelics with harder drugs.

Mushrooms are currently being used as possible treatments to depression, anxiety, and cluster headaches. Studies have shown that people have had a mushrooms trip have a more positive outlook on life. There is no physical addiction, it is one of the least "damaging" physically or mentally and mentally you find yourself straying away from doing it again for awhile. I'd say that is the complete opposite of abusive, possibly even beneficial :)
