Well if a person does it they better have a strong mind to deal with what happens when their high. It takes a strong mind to have a good high. For some people what happens during those bad trips can be EXTREMELY life altering and even traumatising. It can take years to recover from bad highs. First they have to deal with the addiction, then they have to deal with what happened during the addiction. Now unless it is used to treat chronic illness it is not recommended.
