summary

This article discusses a study that suggests hallucinogenic mushrooms are the safest recreational drug compared to other substances, such as LSD and MDMA. The study analyzed data from various drug-related surveys and found that hallucinogenic mushrooms had the lowest rates of emergency medical treatment, hospitalization, and fatalities among recreational drug users. The article highlights that although the use of hallucinogenic mushrooms carries potential risks and should not be taken lightly, they appear to be relatively safer compared to other substances commonly used recreationally. The study's findings contribute to the ongoing debate about drug safety and provide insights into the potential risks and benefits associated with different recreational drugs.
