Just a safety warning for some readers: if you have a past history of delusional thinking, other types of psychosis, or a family history of either, this is not good advice. Psychedelics, especially at higher doses, can trigger harmful psychotic episodes quite easily in susceptible people, which is bad for personal safety and mental health, and can cause lasting damage to relationships with friends and loved ones, as well as potentially wreck a career.

I'll chime in here that I witnessed a long time friend who has a family with a history of mental illness go down this road. For him all it took was one LSD trip. My personal position is that psychedelics are the "going nuclear" of the substance space. They are not toys and hold the power to create and to create awe inducing destruction.
