I would say that my life is much richer for having tripped a few times. My experiences were varied: sometimes it was just like a great party vibe, other times more religious/mystical. There's risk in anything, but, IMO, the risk/reward ratio is very much in favor of giving them a shot. A tip, if you do try them: they are variable dose. So you can start with a half or quarter dose, see how it affects you, and then take a bit more if you're feeling up for it.
