Eh, there are much worse drugs around. If doing shrooms makes people drink less alcohol, it's a huge win both for them and for society in general.

In der Medizin (und wahrscheinlich auch anderswo) nennt man das "alarm fatigue". Wenn ein Alarm oder eine Warnung in aller Regel keine Bedeutung hat, dann sind wir Menschen extrem gut darin, ihn einfach auszublenden. Das ist eine ganz normale Funktion unseres Gehirns, das sich nur mit einer begrenzten Zahl an Dingen gleichzeitig beschäftigen kann und wichtiges von unwichtigem trennen muss.

Das Phänomen ist auch seit Jahrzehnten bekannt, trotzdem gilt fast überall immer noch die Devise "lieber zehn mal umsonst warnen statt einmal gar nicht".
