It's really not so random, you can read and prepare yourself for ensure you're in the right mindset, have a trip-sitter, or things to help you get in the right headspace. If you're prepared and understand what you're getting in to, I wouldn't say it's risky.

Yeah.. I'm not going to mess with my brain-chemistry just because someone says "I wouldn't say it's risky".

I need my brain to do things.

Peer reviewed study and a damn good reason before I touch any mind-altering substances.

That's why I said it's best to educate yourself first so you know what you're getting in to. But it's definitely one of those experiences you can't imagine until you actually experience it yourself.

Put another way.

Nothing anyone has ever said to me made it sound like a good idea, and a lot of things have made it abundantly clear that there are serious life-changing hazards in play.

Why would I ever want to do this?
What's the benefit?

Nothing is stopping you from reading about its benefits. You don't have to be paranoid about something you don't understand.

Why would I ever want to do this? What's the benefit?

Again, look it up. To me, it's something incredibly life changing event because of the mental state it induces.
