Not all psychedelics are illegal. There is salvia and dxm; which are perfectly legal in many states but are more powerful than mushrooms (psilocybin). DXM is closer to ketamine, but it appears that all of them are capable of having psychedelic (revealing) properties.
Legality doesn't always define harm. I think THC (active psychedelic ingredient in cannabis sativa) is much, much safer to do than DXM.
Another interesting one is kratom. It's an opioid drug which is highly illegal in Thailand but perfectly legal in US (can be ordered online, which is awesome). It is also much more addictive than marijuana (being a pseudo-opiate and all) but obviously not close to being as addictive as diamorphine/oxycodone.

Seriously, why is marijuana illegal again?
