Despite having had a small handful of terrifying psychosis inducing trips in my 10 years of using psilocybin & LSD, I still recommend that people try them. I have had amazing and occasionally profound experiences with psychedelics, and I have had friends with social anxieties who made serious breakthroughs in the course of a day. Many of the best days of my life have been spent in nature, with friends, on psychedelics. I'm also an outlier, of my network of friends I'm the only person who has experienced serious very bad no good trips. Psilocybin is generally more anxiety inducing, nausea inducing, & introspective then LSD (on the comeup), yet I still recommend that people new to psychedelics should start with psilocybin because it is much easier to control dosage, and the trips are generally much shorter. The intrinsic danger of LSD is that it is impossible to be sure of the dosage of a blotter, even from the same sheet as another blotter. I understand if the author never wants to take these drugs again. I'd recommend that if you ever are curious again, you skip LSD, find a safe environment with friends and start with a small, manageable dosage of psilocybin (~1-2 grams).
