Isn't this exactly the kind of response that the blog author is calling out? I have a friend who had no history of mental illness or prescribed medications and had an absolutely horrific trip that left him very unsettled for a good few months. The issue is that responses like this deflect onto other possible causes rather than accepting that sometimes people who could never have known differently can have truly dreadful experiences. I say this as someone who has had universally positive and very meaningful experiences with psychedelics, including LSD.
I would agree with both you and the author. There is always a possibility of a bad reaction and that should always be taken into account. Weed combined with beer makes me black out, not pass out, walk around not behaving like myself blackout. And yet I can handle large amounts of tequila. Regular weed use makes someone else I know hyper paranoid, mean and agressive. Simply not everybody is going to react well and there is no telling who that somebody is going to be, so those that want to try it should be aware of the risks.
