I was once chatting with a disabled man in line at a medical dispensary. He told me his doctor dropped him as a patient because he stopped using fentanyl patches and started eating edibles.

A good chunk of these people very likely have never actually taken true LSD. Instead, it was probably various RCs with similar effects, another reason I trust mushrooms a little more. That said, the past few years have definitely shown an increase in psilocybin mimicking RCs being sold as mushroom edibles.
