I don't know where you live but it's been decriminalized in plenty of places in the West, so even if it's not fully legalized the worst you face would be a nominal fine, not getting arrested.

Decriminalizing them is one thing, but what if I'm someone who doesn't make a habit of consuming random substances from strangers? I would rather them be well researched, responsibly sourced, and professionally prescribed.

AFAIK the only reason they are a controlled substance in the first place dates back to the War on "Drugs". "Drugs" of course being shorthand for anti-war protesters and blacks.

you can easily buy them online in canada now
Legally?
does it matter? been able to buy pot at a physical storefront in dt vancouver since around 2002 and currently for the last couple years can go to a website and have mushrooms shipped nextday to my door. if the police wanted to shut either down they would, but they don't.
