Basically everything I can recall being told in D.A.R.E program classes (war on drugs era propaganda taught in public schools in the USA) was utter nonsense and fabricated bullshit. After actually having personal experience with most of the substances they vilified, none of the effects - good or ill - are what I was taught in that ridiculous program.
On the contrary, some of the fear tactics they used made me curious to investigate on my own. The breathlessly scared rural teacher describing the mind bending effects that “magic mushrooms” was supposed to have sounded fascinating to teenage me. In reality, they are very fun and therapeutic to use, but nothing like the wild Alice in Wonderland mind journey they made it sound like it would be.
The only hallucinogen that lives up to D.A.R.E hype is DMT. Things like mushrooms and LSD will give funny visuals and make you think in different perspectives, but you’re still “you” and still on Earth.
DMT though? You can straight up leave this reality and lose yourself if you take enough. You can see things and creatures that couldn’t possibly exist. You can meet God, and live entire lifetimes before crashing back into reality 15-20 minutes later.

Drugs Are Really Excellent?
