Experts say there is still the risk of a "bad trip", which is when the user has an unpleasant experience while under the influence of drugs.
Considering SSRIs et. al. are already a bit of a cat and mouse game I don't think this is the biggest issue. I recognize that this is quite anecdotal but nearly everyone I know who has been on SSRIs, Lithium, benzos etc. has at least had one that reacted horribly with them. I am quite happy that Australia legalised these drugs as we really need more effective medications for mental health conditions.
For real, I would call most of my experiences with SSRIs a "bad trip". And it's like "well keep trying it for a few weeks and if it's still shit we'll try something else." Glad I finally found a...

I never understood the fear of a 'bad trip'. Besides that any drug has side effects ranging from hair loss, impotence, death or physical addiction and what not else.
Obviously there is the possibility of heavy psychial distress, not everyone is ready for a deep trip especially when they deconstruct their whole reality. But in my experience, and also from others, bad trips were usually just difficult to handle. It didnt turn anyone into a glass of orange juice. You may relive bad experiences from the past. Isnt that part of the game?
Personally, the most healing trips I had were bad trips. They have shown me the things I needed to see, not what I wanted to see. A reality check you can hardly escape from.
Unfortunately its hard to find actual scientific studies about this, as it has been illigal for way too long. A lot of knowledge is simply personal experience or research from the 60s, but rare modern professional research. It was ramped up thanks to foundations like MAPS. I'm happy that things finally change, though too late and too slow. We kind of start again what Stanislav Grof did in the 60s.
I sometimes think that I wouldnt be here anymore, if psychedelics didnt show me a way how to be actually happy in life, and what is really important for myself. I hope it gets wider adopted and the taboo finally lifted.
Studies are in progress and the results and coming in possibly. It's making more headlines each month. Check out: Riding the Wave: Principles of Psychedelic Harm Reduction at:...

Have a great trip!
Psilocybin is good for the soul. I'm glad it can be administered to people in need.
I think especially under the guidance of a professional. Even better.
