I think this is very individual. Glad it worked out for you, but experimenting with self-medication with untested drugs could go both ways. A Google Scholar search for "psychedelic drug psychosis" makes clear that there is nowhere near consensus on whether this is an advisable option.
- lilsunnybee 12y agoDefinitely! Like alcoholism, there is a risk factor in the use of psychedelics for some people, with a strong genetic component. It's important to take your own mental health history, as well as family history into account when experimenting. Especially before taking any high doses of anything, experiment just with lower doses first, with relatively sober, experienced friends present should anything go wrong. If you have a personal or family history of psychotic episodes though, including delusional thinking, be extremely cautious, and either only take lower doses or abstain entirely for your own safety and well-being.
