If I had a family history of schizophrenia I would personally avoid psychedelics (and weed) entirely.
Several studies have shown small numbers of people with a family history of schizophrenia showing symptoms during and after the study. Granted, this could just be a confounding effect (the symptoms normally manifest during the phase of life the study participants were in) So a causal link has not been established, and studies necessarily to find a causal link would be unethical. (You’d have to deliberately induce schizophrenia in people who wouldn’t normally have it)
But the suspicion is good enough for me. If I had a family history of schizophrenia I would never try psychedelics ever in my life.
