If you have a family history of psychosis, it can trigger schizophrenia or bipolar.

If you're not predisposed to psychosis, can it really do anything besides give you a bad trip? Bad trips are traumatizing and may take a while to work through, psychologically, but it's not permanent damage.

Personally, I had a very bad trip that led me to stop doing drugs and, ultimately, to a lot of very positive changes in my life.

The problem with advice like this is, how do you know you're not predisposed to psychosis if you haven't tried it yet? It needs to be more actionable.
