Well, that's mostly with LSD -- though mushrooms can have a similar effect.

You see your reflection -- obviously. The problem (potential problem, it can also be totally fine), is that because of the visual tricks the drug plays on your, you can see it swirling, melting, bending, etc.

The other aspect is that, seeing your face can trigger self-reflection, and you can start having bad thoughts about you, how you're older, ugly, seeing aspects on your character thay you don't like, thinking shit you've done in the past, etc.

If you're not that kind of miserable person in normal life (or with hidden but known to you pains) you'll be just fine looking in the mirror.

As an aside, no you won't suddenly see a monster, snake or such BS -- you'll see what you see + visual effects like twirling, shine, kaleidoscopic lights, etc.
