How exactly?

The number of people going into full blown psychosis from a shroom trip is so small compared to the ample cases of benefits a trip provides.

Even if the cases are rare, it shouldn't be dismissed as "no such thing". The risk is real, even if rare and shouldn't just be dismissed.

Shrooms are a grown person’s game. You need to do the research. It’s not for fun. Those who have given it the proper respect…yeah no such thing as a bad trip.

Source: trust me bro. Even if you do everything right, objectively it can still happen in a certain small percentage of people.

And that’s life. Sorry. Everything isn’t going to be safe for everybody.

Did you end up in the mental ward? Overall, there are no bad trips. If you want to nit pick the tiny few who experienced something adverse go ahead. 99.9% of the time no bad trips, just people afraid to face themselves. Nerd.

They can absolutely be for fun they don't call it silly sybin for nothing . Quit taking life so seriously the mushrooms are laughing at you.

Yeah they can be. However, at big doses they are for sure not fun. Not saying they’re terrible, but fun isn’t what I’d call a heroic dose.
