I have a group of friends in the medical field in emergency rooms.
They actually see a lot of people coming through the doors with psychedelic-induced issues, either directly or by injuring themselves.
Higher psychedelic doses tend to be relatively debilitating, though, so it somewhat limits what people can do on them. Sadly this means many of the accidents are more likely to progress to death because the person isn't thinking clearly enough to extract themself from the situation (drowning, house on fire, weather exposure, lost in the woods, etc.)
