Hey @art.life. The reason I asked him was because I'd come across many people on Steemit who are similarly minded, far more than in real life and on other social media platforms (where you tend to get unfriended for outside-the-norm views). Of all the people I've met very few I think are open to these kind of experiences. You're right, you have to pay very close attention to set and setting. I fucked this up, psilocybin truffles in the middle of Amsterdam and Peruvian shrooms at home... when I had a new born baby crying lol. Not the calmest places to be. I even knew that but still fucked it up! I have since found meditation and don't do it often enough but am working at it and should really make it my main focus.

Many people have had such distressing experiences. It's just that too many are cautious about bringing up the subject itself.
Meditation daily has helped me a lot in dealing with routine, pressure and anxiety. I prefer Michael Sealey on Youtube.
Also, meditation-style guided hypnosis sessions can spark a really profound introspection in your emotions and thoughts. Remember - you can control your thoughts, it feels difficult, but it is entirely upon us. Our minds and bodies are like computers, and you are the one who's in control, the user. Understanding that has also helped me a lot. :)
Thanks @art.life - yes it thought to be a "dangerous" subject to discuss - but then it seems more dangerous to not discuss it! Thank you for the reminder of the connection to meditation as well. These are important skills for us to learn how to observe ourselves.
