I understand that people are very different because if I took mushrooms when I was terminally ill, I would have a trip so bad it would break my mind.

Did a previous trip lead you to this belief are you just speculating on what your experience would be like?

I’ve had one bad trip (not terrible) when I was expecting some bad news. I’m basing it off of that experience. I’ve had a dozen other good trips but I was always careful to make sure I was in a good headspace before doing it.

AFAIK, there are 3 key ingredients to the trip: the set (before), the setting (during) and integration (the after). This is not a DIY therapy, but needs to be under a therapist's supervision.
