We need clinical research in order to identify the risks, so that it is not a game of chance. Just as an analogy:When barbituates were invented, people died. After research, it was realised that taking a little too much resulted in death, but the right amount produced very beneficial results. Pychedelics have yet to have that research conducted. It may be, that like barbituates, the cause of the awful effects can be identified, and then removed - this may be simple, who knows? :)
