Individuals should "put in some mental groundwork" in preparation of taking any entheogen; my best advice would be to use a spirit guide / healer for your first trip, particularly if you're extremely anxious.
As example, I have previously been turned down [by a US MD] as "too anxious" to try legal ketamine-infusion therapy [immediately after loss of a parent].
In using a trained professional (e.g. see Oregon's new psilocybin guide certification) to help you determine your "use fitness," you can probably avoid a very bad experience...
I just looked up "entheogen" (e.g. LSD, psilo, salvia, mescaline) in my personal dictionary and the origin is this: "Greek, literally becoming divine within."
Just a perfectly-generated word, based on my own personal experiences of connecting with the above examples (except S. divinorum, which can go to hell (or take you there)).
