What a poor headline. Front the article. "It also would have covered dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and mescaline." I don't know much about DMT and Mescaline, but "a bunch of drugs" is a lot different from "just shrooms".

It's not really 'a bunch of drugs' and none of those have any addictive potential. They're all potent psychedelics that have a lot of benefits if used responsibly and are easily derived from natural plant sources. This is a move backwards.

Fair enough! Thank you as well for the info. I'll definitely have to delve more into it, as it seems like my initial reaction was leaning on the incorrect side.
