Thank you for posting this. While not everyone's experience is the same, after hearing all the hype I was inching closer to trying this... but this confirms that it's not a magic bullet and there are dangers. I don't have any specific mental issues right now, so there's also probably no reason to try it. The only thing I wish for, at 45 yo, is to have a faster to adapt mind like I had when I was younger.


Yes, it’s a roll of the dice which is unfortunate because it was actually pretty fun and a quite profound experience.

I’m not saying people shouldn’t do it but just to proceed with caution and ideally under professional supervision.
