I have to disagree with you here. Psychedelics help people - the idea that they should only be taken by individuals who are in a 'good' place is missing so much of the point IMO. I began experimenting with psychedelics during the darkest period of my life and it was absolutely the right decision. Yes, there are things that can go wrong - even to a 'healthy' mind. To those out there in all-encompassing pain and darkness - don't think that a trip will necessarily amplify your current mental state - I argue that psychs are a ladder to help you climb out of whatever hole has you trapped. FWIW I believe marijuana has a higher risk of throwing someone into nasty thought loops than psychedelics.
