That's an interesting perspective, and I'm sorry to hear that this happened to you. I was under the impression that those "jumping out of a window" stories were urban legends. I've definitely had psychedelics affect my beliefs about the universe in crazy ways (I briefly believed in god during a mushroom trip), and seen it in other people (a friend who normally has very down-to-earth beliefs about the universe once believed he could communicate with me psychically), but never in any dangerous ways.

Thanks. I also thought that they were urban legends. I do still think it's rare enough to not worry too much about, but at the same time I think the common narrative among psychedelic proponents that "if anything, it makes you _more_ alert/aware/whatever" is unrealistic.

As a community, though, psychedelic users have a pragmatic mindset about preparation and are generally sensible.
