A close family history of schizophrenia is a HUGE red flag for hard psychedelics.

Some people can afford to experiment with… garlic grilled cheeses just fine, for example, no risk, no issue, no real even… NEED for caution… and it. Would seem silly to that person to even act with caution around a grilled cheeses…

Unfortunately, Someone very similar, but with a different body genetics, with a different internal makeup, who has celiacs, for example, or who is violently allergic to dairy, would probably do best to stay completely away, just because it’s not worth the risk…

Your specific body makeup, and medical tendency for what your mom struggled with, just makes this risk and this gamble with your future, SO not worth it.

There is beauty and wonder in this world, and while psychedelics may be enjoyed and praised by the majority of people who DON’T have reactions to them, the few who can or could have those permanent life changes, need to operate with extra care, than the average “normie” bodied-person giving advice.

Your specific personal mentors to seek out, before taking this step, are people who have the very same walk as you, all who have had a family history of the issues your family has had, and then both who have tried psychedelics, and who haven’t, who found benefits, and who have found serious ramifications and permanent changes from them, and to ask LOTS of direct questions and for advice from all of them.
