Yes. Don't do them. There is a reason why people stop once they encounter a bad trip. Even if you are lucky on the genetic lottery you can have a traumatic episode and fuck yourself up with insomnia and PTSD.
>but what about muh ego death experiences and igniting spiritual connections?
It's amazing for a month but then you quickly overlook it or stop thinking about it entirely. I have to really stretch my memory to re-process everything that happened when I underwent ego death, but I never felt anything spiritual about it during or after it. Ironically the trauma from the bad trip is what made me turn to God because my insomnia and constant dissociated episodes couldn't be helped with SSRIs and family/friends couldn't help me break out of it all. Worse series of months in my life. Depression and chronic GAD is nothing compared to dissociation or being unable to fall asleep because you connect falling into a dream state with the sensation of falling into heavy trip with mushrooms. Don't do it. This shit is not like weed or MDMA, it actually cross wires your neurological pathways in ways they are not meant to connect to naturally.
