Psychedelics are a lot like taking a vacation. You may have an experience which will impact your life in some (perhaps significantly better or worse) way. You may gain new perspectives on life. You may gain insight into yourself and travel companions. You may develop an ugly tendency to be that annoying person who always talks about their trip to ___ and always find a way to interject it into conversations.


That's a risk for just about anything that's interesting. Reading up on a new (to you) philosophy. Finding a new (to you) diet, or exercise or yoga. Learning a new programming paradigm. And on and on. People naturally want to share experiences they found exciting/stimulating/useful/etc. I don't think that really provides much judgement or insight into whether a specific activity tends to be good or bad.
