Think some of you have little experience with psychedelics and are presuming they work the same way a opiate like cocaine or meth would work. No one gets addicted to mushrooms,LSD or any other form of psychedelics it just does not happen that way.

That's a very broad and bold statement. I personally know several people who have become helplessly addicted to psychedelics and are constantly yearning for their next trip. They feel lost in reality. It's just fried brain, need the new stimulation at all times. It's sad, honestly.
Psychedelics are just as dangerous as other drugs.
Would you start snorting a bit of cocaine every time you needed to get through a long problem set or finish a presentation?

I think you must be using a different criteria for drug categories. Cocaine is not a psychedelic, so It does not apply to the topic.
Can you tell me the psychedelic drug your friends became addicted to?
As for the sad part, we are talking about a very minute amount to stimulate the brains network, its not to get high but seen as body hacking.
The very broad and bold statenent is based on the responses about addiction. Any one that has done pscychedelics will agree.

I was using cocaine as a point of comparison. Poorly worded, didn't mean to imply it was a psychedelic (obviously isn't). What I meant was, you likely wouldn't take another type of drug on this regular a basis as these articles suggest LSD.
2 friends to acid (or research chemicals meant to mimic it, i.e the 2c family), 1 to DMT, 1 to a mixture of mushrooms, LSD, 25i, and occasional DMT. The last one is the most foregone. Poor bloke is always tripping or smoking large amounts of spice/weed/salvia to break from reality (mostly tripping these days).
