The problem is God has a problem with the mushrooms. If it alters your judgement it’s to be avoided. Mushrooms are a lot of fun though and almost impossible to od on.
The Bible does not explicitly mention modern recreational drugs. However, it warns against intoxication, addiction, and sorcery. Many interpreters apply these warnings to drug use for non-medical purposes. While drug use is not explicitly named as a sin, it is widely considered one based on biblical principles. So it appears He does.🤔
I would say it's a fundamental fallacy to consider something like seeking greater mental clarity and spiritual attunement through psychedelic use equivalent simply drowning your sorrows with drugs that simply numb your pain away like alcohol or opiates.
While I agree with you that using unhealthy substances is advised against from a Biblical perspective, it's important to understand nuance and keep in mind that not all substances, and not all reasons for using substances, are equal.
If God really does exist, I believe it would be a God that understands that nuance.

God made the mushrooms. I doubt he has a problem with them.
