Shrooms are toxic, that's why you get high. And since it impairs your senses, you might wind up on a balcony doing a handstand on the rails and losing your grip... or dancing in the street and not noticing the car coming towards you at 55MPH.

Just to join the ever-growing chorus, the above statement is completely bogus. Saying that you only get high because they're toxic is utterly baseless and unfounded. Please do show us the published paper where you found this particular nugget.
And no, it doesn't impair your senses, or your judgment. You aren't going to suddenly find yourself jumping out the window because you think you can fly. It just doesn't happen. Period.

And I'd also like to point out that this is conjecture. PCP is known to be neurotoxic, but DXM and ketamine, which are very different, chemically, have not been shown to be neurotoxic in humans.
