It is short acting so the distress that often accompanies major psychedelics is short and wears off quickly (unlike, say, mescaline which drags on for hours)
There does seem to be a effect where taking magic mushrooms several days in a row produces deleterious effects, I am not sure that is due to the psilocybin but it is unpleasant physical side effects that are not apparent if doses are spaced.
Repeated use (even when spaced enough to avoid the above physical effects) usually resulted (in my anecdotal observations of other people) in sever paranoia developing. That faded as quickly as the effects of the drug.
It should be available and it should be widely used. Psychedelic drugs are good for the mind, which is why people take them.
