I read bureaucratic red tape, and I imagine a group of people gathering actual information on how this goes down including input from hospitals and law enforcement where problems occur. As opposed to word of mouth, which is whatever you want it to be.
Some people have committed homicides while on LSD [1], that they would unlikely have committed otherwise. Here's a crazy story a New Zealand friend of mine told me. She knew a guy who had gotten high on LSD while vacationing in France, and wandered into some stranger's backyard. The homeowner came out and they stabbed them with a pitchfork and killed them. They went to French prison for life, but were released as part of a deal France made with New Zealand for the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior by the French Secret Service. They released all New Zealanders and repatriated them, and this guy, lucky SOB he is, was set free.
I also am aware that it’s a fallacy to say “X is worse than Y, so don’t worry about Y”. Both X and Y can be bad at the same time! We definitely need more harm reduction education about psychedelics.
