While I'm all for descheduling psilocybin (and decriminalizing it as well), it should be noted that this was a very small sample size study (15 people) and I've heard anecdotal warnings to not take shrooms if bipolar or schizophrenic for years, as there might be a slight risk of psychosis.

You also have to take into account the setting the test was administered in. The participants underwent therapy before, during, and after the treatment. Being in a safe space with immediate access to mental health professionals probably decreases the risks substantially.
