When I was a teenager, I tried psilocibin but nowhere near the amount that is administered in a clinical setting today. Despite not taking as much, I vividly recall how confident I was that I could jump from the window of a second story and land without experiencing any discomfort. I felt not just good but superhuman. Fortunately, I had some mental bearings left that kept me from performing this stunt. I never had that urge to jump from a window again, but I also never tried shrooms again either. Instead, I took a walk at night in the pouring rain to venture somewhere that I would never go to in daylight and to do something I would have supremely regretted had I actually accomplished my goal.

Because of this experience, I agree with Pollan and others that Psilocybin ought to only be used under clinical supervision.
