There's no point to treading lightly with psychedelics. If you take small amounts you will have no idea what the psychedelic experience is. You either take heroic breakthrough doses or better not to take them at all. Of course the downsides are experiencing your own death, existential crisis worse than you can ever imagine, forceful entity encounters, opening the door to schizophrenia, there really is no limit. It's a bottomless pit and nothing can prepare you. The positives would be seeing it for yourself and being one of the initiated few. Trial by fire. Imagine the unimaginable.

Are there benefits to low doses? Sure, there can be. It's a tool and I don't think they are inherently evil. That said, it opens the door for the astral (demonic) entities to get into your life. I don't think God intended for us to have these experiences during this lifetime. It's taking a bite out of the forbidden fruit. The choice is ours and the option is there, but once you see it you can't unsee it. I've personally met several people who had forceful entity encounters from low doses. They had 20-30 prior trips that were fun and positive and one day they connected with something from beyond. Scared them straight and never touched them again. It's playing Russian roulette. It's not purely neurochemical changes in the brain nor is it a strictly spiritual experience. It's both, and the lines are blurred. What makes an experience real? Define reality. Is it something our brain interprets and exists just within ourselves? Is it something that exists regardless if we notice it ourselves and can be observed by others too? With psychedelics, it seems to be the latter. People have similar experiences with the same or similar entities which have a definite agenda - and they don't have our best interest in mind.

Hope this helps. If you still want to try them at some point, go straight for DMT. Make it yourself, put together a vape mod from aliexpress parts (lots of youtube videos) strong enough for a one hit breakthrough and yolo the FUCK out of it.
