LSD and mushrooms are two drugs that require emotional fortitude.
As tools of self discovery, they are peerless - you will feel as if you have stepped out of your shoes and that you are experiencing yourself as someone else. You will look at the things you find important and wonder why the fuck you give a shit. It can be quite harrowing if you do not have your shit in order.
As long as you are with people who have "been there", they would be able to recognise when things are getting bad, though. It's just something to be aware of if you're going to try stuff like that. You need to either have your shit in order or be ready to face your problems without a filter.
It's a lot like dreaming, really - stuff can be extremely raw in dreams and can take you unaware.
It is an option to just blast music, though.. the louder the music, the less chance the experience will be about yourself.
I expected DMT to be like that, but it was far too much of a rocket off the planet to spend time looking back
