I wanna develop norms around psychedelics that respect the fact that they are interesting, helpful, and occasionally very harmful to a small group of people with predisposition to be harmed by them.

NOTE: I am not a medical professional, but they are all too risk adverse to say what I am about to. Usually, if someone asks, should I take psychedelics my first question is: do you have a history of schizophrenia? Does it run in your family?

More broadly, I would like to have norms where people take them under circumstances where if they really, really freak out they won't do anything that can't be undone - ideal scenario is with good friends capable of physically overpowering you if need be.

Most of my concern about outlying harms of psychedelics also seems to apply to intense meditation practices.
