Well, I guess it's not only that. Psychedelic drugs can really fuck you up, if you aren't prepared. People talk about set and setting a lot.
I suspect that these drugs sure help a lot of people, but can also fuck a lot of people up really badly. It's like, people who don't go along well with these substances, avoid them instinctively.
Now, if someone would prescribe them, I'm pretty sure that a lot of people who are simply not prepared for it mentally (instead blindly trust the medics), would take them and get hurt pretty badly because of that.
That's why its better to take them under medical supervision(at least for the first time). Just giving them someone is probably the dumbest thing you could do.
It's not just supervision IMO.
I prepared myself for years before I took psilocybin for the first time, because I knew that it's going to bring up all of the subconscious shit that I carried around. So I "cleaned" myself enough emotionally beforehand, before taking the fungus.
Now, imagine your typical asshole walks into your medical treatment facility and demands psilocybin. Sure, you can give them psilocybin, but you cannot give them the sense of respect and understanding in front of these drugs.
Edit: by "your typical asshole" i mean, the typical asshole that you would encounter daily. Not you personally or sth.
That's why you shouldn't just give it out to the Normie's. It should only be taken with medical supervision.
These drugs are typically used for individual and group therapy sessions and not given as prescriptions to take at home. They're basically just there to augment therapy sessions.
I do think they should be legalized and allowed for recreational use as well but your concerns aren't really justified if you look at what existing therapeutic applications are like and what companies in the psychedelic space are trying to do right now.

Yeah, I guess you have a point.
