An example: there was a notable headline-generating incident recently in which an individual who had taken psilocybin-containing mushrooms assaulted several individuals on a plane. While rare, taking high doses of psychedelics in the wrong set and setting can be immensely disruptive and sometimes dangerous for those around you. While certainly not the majority of use cases, when situations like these end up in the headlines, it certainly makes it harder for activists to make the case for decriminalization or legalization on the basis of there being little public safety risk. https://www.washingtonpost.com/travel/2022/10/10/psychedelic-mushrooms-united-flight/
