Definitely! Like alcoholism, there is a risk factor in the use of psychedelics for some people, with a strong genetic component. It's important to take your own mental health history, as well as family history into account when experimenting. Especially before taking any high doses of anything, experiment just with lower doses first, with relatively sober, experienced friends present should anything go wrong.

If you have a personal or family history of psychotic episodes though, including delusional thinking, be extremely cautious, and either only take lower doses or abstain entirely for your own safety and well-being.
