So first off, I have a diagnosis of schizo-affective disorder. I wanted to understand the effect of shrooms or any statistics on their affect on people within the schizophrenia spectrum. I don't plan on using shrooms. I saw a few people talking about psychedelic research and benefits for people with the mental illness. I imagine a drug that causes hallucinations would be traumatizing or even have negative long term effects.
Suppose someone randomly handed you a baggy with a gram of shrooms in it, and mumbled something about the type but you don't even remember what type they were. Would you simply throw them away knowing you were at risk, and the fact that you don't even know what type they are and it's not easy to identify them?
Lots of people talk about wonderful experiences on shrooms, and how it changes their lives. Many with schizophrenia freak out even taking Marijuana causes a sort of weird experience. I think they are more intense for people with this illness, more pronounced, and because of taking medication it could also cause a negative reaction...
So basically, are psychedelics harmful to people with schizophrenia? Thanks in advance.
