I'd expect crime and addictions to actually decrease if psilocybin was legalized, among other positive benefits. As long as people are properly educated and it's regulated well, it would definitely be a positive.
It was technically legal in the UK for about 2 years and sold in the high street shops.
Crime didn`t increase deaths did not increase Intoxication with driving did not increase. No one became addicted no one became heroin addicts because of it.
Pretty much it had zero negative effect on society, the government just decided they where deadly possessions and changed the law. I'm in a medical state (CA) and progress has been slower than I'd expect in a recreational state. I have possessed a medicinal card for the past 2 years, and have interned in industry for the same period of time. Most employers will do drug screenings every so often, and since cannabis is still federally illegal there is still ground for termination, even if it is legal statewide.

I'm 39 now and smoke when I want to relax without having a drink (that would be a few times a week, trying to reduce the alcohol consumption). Alcohol is unquestionably more destructive on a social and physiological level yet it is legal. In either case, we should be free to destroy our bodies if we so desire. The law has no business enforcing health standards; it should only allow people to be aware of the decisions they are making, not make those decisions for them.
