Mushrooms maybe, but doesn't LSD have the power to affect someone for life? If I were to use any recreationals, I'm sticking to dreamfish, that doesn't even have any documented cases of overdosing yet.

LSD and psylocibin work very similarly, they even have cross-tolerance. Schizophrenia and psychosis are some of the few risks you need to watch out for when handling psychedelics. If there is a predisposition present like mental illlnesses running in the family, psychedelics may act as a trigger for those and should be avoided or handled very carefully.

Also there is no documented overdose with LSD and psylocybe mushrooms either, even with doses as high as hundreds or thousands of recreational doses.
