I have a great deal of respect for mushrooms and other things as a tool of introspection, but I never tried them myself. My experience with marijuana was so powerful and frankly anxiety and paranoia filled, I had a great fear of having a bad trip on mushrooms. I routinely had "bad trips" on marijuana but I used them as a tool like you say- I valued the introspection and new perspectives it offered me. It changed my life greatly for the positive but I believe gave me a heightened tendency towards worrying and anxiety generally.
