It's a lot less than 1%, but best to take psychedelics with (1) a deep knowledge of what's actually happening[1] and (2) confidence in your support network both during the experience and after.
A bad trip is not necessarily bad—it's information about further work to do. If you don't already have a handle on how to do that kind of work without psychedelics, there's definitely a chance you'll end up stuck, possibly with symptoms you don't want. But it's not just a dice-roll.
Your calculus may also change if you consider the possibility that your life could potentially be 10x or 100x better after investigation & development (via psychedelics or other means). From that perspective, psychedelics can be seen merely as a spiritual power tool. Great for gross cuts, best wielded with precautions in place, and not the right tool for finishing work.
