First sentence:
Study conclusion statement:
I believe that a single beneficial psychedelic trip can potentially light up new mental pathways that facilitate healing. And it can also go very very permanently wrong for people whose families have predispositions for schizophrenia or other major social disorders, or just randomly do forever damage to the way your brain processes data from the optic nerve and we don’t really know how to predict it.
your beliefs in the second paragraph are mostly just FUD. similar to the old horror stories around THC/CBD.
As I said classic FUD. I didnt say it has no risks but certainly not to the level people are implying here. just talk to your fing doctor people if you have concerns before trying it. not hard.
Psychonauts have talked about the importance of set and setting for ages. He's talking about the same stuff with different vocabulary. These drugs can have real effects, it's important to be mindful of the risks.
as i said similar to the old horror stories surrounding THC/CBD. you can also have terrible adverse reactions to antibiotics. psilocybin has a decent and researched safety profile. the set and setting is so you dont have a shitty time while tripping. set and setting is definitely important but not for the reasons your implying.
Like when you're being genocided. Impossible to get the right set and setting.
What kind of settings that should be? Never seen anyone who wanted to sepuku on acids
There are contraindications.
