Supply chain is a definite concern with LSD, and other synthetic drugs. They are often incorrectly dosed and sometimes laced with other chemicals.

Naturally grown drugs like marijuana, mushrooms, even peyote and it's cousins are easy to identify, easy to dose safely and there is almost no risk of supply chain tampering.

Counterpoint: the amount of psilocybin in a mushroom can vary by 5x, even of the same strain, depending on growing conditions and time of harvest.

On the other hand, if you buy 250mg of powdered psilocin or psilocybin from a reputable vendor, you know exactly how much you are getting.

Hell no. There are sadly a million ways to increase the weight of hash with neutral to very harmful chemicals.

Also just the buds of marijuhana can be poisened. Low quality ganja mixed with artifical thc(or something else for example happened quite a lot in recent times)

Fortunately, you do can grow your own ...
