Negative experiences have always been a part of it. It's half the point. Negative also doesn't mean permanent, which is extremely rare.

- Aurornis 1y ago> Negative experiences have always been a part of it. It's half the point. This is the type of dismissal and downplaying I’m referring to. My friend descended into psychosis after taking psychedelics. It was not “half the point” and not helpful to his life in any way.
- nwienert 1y agoNot that rare, anyone with predisposition to psychosis/schizophrenia has a high risk of permanent effects, and that’s not that small of a segment of people, and nearly unknowable beforehand.
- bongodongobob 1y agoThat is the definition of rare.
- nwienert 1y agoRarity isn’t a catch all, it’s a lot closer to winning $20 on a scratcher than 5k. When the game is Russian Roulette no one should call it rare.
