can Psychedelics damage your life?

Hello, I regularly smoke cannabis and tried mushrooms for my first time on Friday. I had a very good trip and would like to do it again. I know psychedelics can change your views on life, and I was wondering if that could be a negative thing? Also what other negative effects can come from responsible psychedelic use? I'm probably going to try DMT next weekend and I was wondering if that could be to intense and mentally damage me? I probably sound stupid right now but I just want to make sure I make the right choices. THANKS! Oh and BTW I don't want to use these drugs for fun. I like the idea of gaining knowledge from things like DMT and exploring yourself with things like mushrooms.Ive always been a nature lover so im really excited about exploring psychedelics.

If you respect psychedelics and don't abuse them then I don't think they can damage your life severely. I'm not saying you are 100% guaranteed to have no problems...
But you will probably be fine.

Anything can ruin your life. And anything can make your life better. It's all relative.
Be safe, and don't dive in headfirst by taking ridiculous doses in bad situations.

You have to be careful and responsible. Psychedelics can be pretty powerful drugs.
I love them, and I think they are beautiful, but I have decided to take a pretty lengthy break because I've started suffering from my use. Or at least from one large dose.
But you can have a lot of fun and gain some insight from these drugs. It's all about responsibility.
Welcome to the shroomery by the way. You came to the right place

I doubt one (or even a few) use will cause changes like that. Those kind of experiences are pretty rare, though they do occur.

Don't take heafty doses before you are ready, if you do this you will be fine. Psychedelics are very powerful and can cause "life altering realizations" but usually these realizations are positive. I doubt smoking DMT once will change your life, may change the way you look at it, but it won't cause you to behave weirdly/different after the experience or anything.
I always say when psychedelics are used responibly and at correct doses nobody ODs and nobody dies, no one freaks out, and nobody cries.

Life is about experiences, and psychedelics just cause the best ones!

in my relationship with mushrooms, it feels like they themselves have taught me some ground rules to keep me safe. and the main rule is not to visit them too often. it feels like they are angry if i visit them before i have finished processing what they offered me the previous time, like "back for seconds before you've cleaned your plate, hm? we'll teach you to be thankful for what you are given!" and it's generally a couple few months between sessions for me. don't come to them empty-handed, needy and bored. come to them with something to work on, love to give, and dedicated time and space as with a dear friend and teacher. it's been this way for 5 years, and my life is much richer for knowing them. respect, respect, respect, or they will kick your ass.

Yeah my first trip was really weird.I didnt see colors or anything crazy like that but there were layers to everything, and my animals connected with me(not like talking or anything crazy haha but just a mental conncection0, and my head was shaped like an alien when I looked in the mirror. Everything just blew my mind and i would laugh so hard at everything. I dont know why im typing all of this right now, I guess because im bored lol. Im probably going to try mescaline pretty soon and trip on shrooms again this summer.
