Psychedelic Mushrooms Are Closer to Medicinal Use

This is the main reason why psychedelics are so high risk - the variation of the experience makes them hard to recommend in any serious way.

It's not even a bad trip necessarily, a positive trip can still cause after affects, increased risk of psychotic episodes, or pretty severe anxiety and it's very hard to predict whether or not you'll be unlucky.

Calling something high risk I think suggests some combination of likelihood and magnitude of harm - can you possibly speak to these two aspects, so we might have some idea of how high risk they are?

I can on the bad side from personal experience, but prefer not to talk about it publicly. I’d be ok to say in private, feel free to mail me sheldon.els+psy[at]gmail.com
