Which is why I'm highly disagreeing with the concept that such drugs should be widely or anywhere near universally taken. You'll likely have a significant subset of people who shouldn't be taking this medication, either due to being related to someone with a psychotic or dissociative disorder, or having one themselves. I also worry about people whose existing schizotypal traits are within normal bounds but may be exaggerated by psychedelics to a negative outcome.


High doses of psychedelics literally induces schizophrenia in its users, albeit for a brief amount of time, so it makes sense why that could be dangerous for people already living in such a state
