I use psychedelics and cannabis.

However I think you need to be VERY careful saying things like “psychedelics don’t cause mental illness” because honestly, sometimes they do. At the very least, they can DEFINITELY exacerbate mental illness in people who have it already and make it much worse.

How do I know? Because my fiance took magic mushrooms repeatedly, and eventually had the worst of all bad trips, where he was completely delusional and hallucinating, and during that bad trip, he killed someone thinking they were a terrorist trying to murder him. I was a witness so I saw what his mental state was. Now he’s in prison for manslaughter, and despite it being 3 years since he touched psychedelics, he still hallucinates daily and has recurrent delusions and dissociative episodes.

I was the one who introduced him to mushrooms, because of articles I read like this one that said psychedelics were “the safest of all drugs” especially magic mushrooms. They probably are safe for most people. But not people who have any kind of mental illness, unless it’s under therapeutic supervision.
