When I was a teenager one of my close friends picked some Datura in his neighborhood because he read it would get him high. Then he gave a bunch out to people at school and put 3 people in the ICU. The idea that natural drugs are safe and synthetic ones are dangerous is complete and utter horseshit.

In the early morning hours of July 9, 2008, six adult family members were admitted to a hospital emergency department in Maryland with hallucinations, confusion, mydriasis, and tachycardia of approximately 3--4 hours duration. Approximately 4--5 hours earlier, all six family members had shared a meal of homemade stew and bread. Subsequent investigation by the Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services (MCDHHS) and the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (MDHMH) determined that the stew contained jimsonweed (Datura stramonium), a plant in the nightshade family that contains atropine and scopolamine (1) and has been associated with anticholinergic-type poisoning (1). This report describes the poisoning incident, which resulted in six hospitalizations, and the subsequent multidisciplinary investigation. Health-care providers and public health officials should be aware that jimsonweed poisoning can occur among many age groups, including younger persons, who typically consume the plant material for recreational purposes, or persons of any age group who might unknowingly ingest the plant. A prompt diagnosis of jimsonweed poisoning is complicated by the difficulties in eliciting exposure histories in persons with altered mental status and the variable presentations of affected persons. Consultation with horticulturalists, poison control centers, and specialized laboratories might be necessary to investigate cases and outbreaks. The six affected persons came from one family and included three men and three women ranging in age from 38 to 80 years (median age: 42 years). All six shared a meal of homemade stew and bread at approximately 9:00 p.m. on July 8, 2008. No one else was at the home when the meal was eaten. Approximately 1 hour later, another relative arrived at the home and discovered the six affected family members laughing, confused, and complaining of hallucinations, dizziness, and thirst. One of the family members vomited. The unaffected relative called emergency medical services, and all six were transported to the hospital by ambulance. On admission to the emergency department, two of the six patients were unconscious. The other four were awake and had altered mental status; complete history of meal preparation and food exposures could not be obtained. Physical examinations revealed tachycardia and dilated, sluggishly reactive pupils in five of the six patients. Temperatures ranged from 98.0ºF (36.7ºC) to 99.4ºF (37.4ºC). Respirations ranged from 17 to 22 breaths per minute.

Obviously there are harmful drugs in nature, and you shouldn't take them. The thing about drugs made in nature though is there is no risk for getting an RC, an improperly made drug, a dirty drug, or a cut drug.
No need for test kits when the drug you are taking is only inside one type of plant, and there are no harmfuls in it you have to worry about
But it is still a drug though, and that is where I draw the line. While I would feel much safer taking some natural shrooms than taking a drug out of a lab, even if it was tested with a reagent, taking something like LSD (a very safe drug that is only made by humans) will not affect the brain in a negative way.
People are welcome to make their own choices, and it isn't totally crazy that people find more comfort in taking something that they know is say a magical mushroom rather than take something that could be impure or has toxic residue. What is crazy though is thinking that somehow 100% pure LSD is bad for you whereas shrooms are not.

Her not wanting to try a synthetic drug doesn't necessarily imply that she believes all natural drugs are safe.

Weird that the lack of any physical resemblance or minty smell didn't tip her off.

Then the Shroomery should have a float in the gay pride parade, but we need a catchy slogan that rhymes with shroom.
