When it comes to something like Ayahuasca, I make a point of not recommending it. I lean into the woo of it, and allow "the ready people" to help realize their calling to it through me. I know, bear with me, but advocating something this wildly, impossibly potent and transformative is something I cannot do, and so I defer to greater wisdom. For small doses of psilocybin, it is - both in my experiences and in a lot of scientific contexts - considered very, very safe. Greater doses, 2.5 dry grams, you start to introduce risk triggering latent psycho-affective disorders. For most people with common neurotic conditions, anxiety, depression, etc, it is very low risk. Out of 100M, I'd say .1% is at risk having a very negative experience due to significant, untreated issues like schizophrenia. All of things things require support. Community, a guiding hand, will truly improve the outcome.
