A person's mother has been diagnosed with schizophrenia. He himself has never suffered from psychosis. He wants to perform a cacao bliss ceremony. What are the risks of this?
The use of psychedelics, such as the ingredients in a chocobliss or cacao bliss during a ceremony, can entail significant risks, especially for people with a family history of mental illnesses such as schizophrenia. Although the boy himself does not exhibit symptoms of schizophrenia, the genetic predisposition for this condition may entail an increased risk when using psychedelics.
Psychedelics can bring about intense changes in consciousness and emotional experiences. For someone with a family history of schizophrenia, there is a risk that the use of these substances may trigger or worsen latent mental disorders. This can lead to an increased risk of psychotic episodes or other serious mental health problems.
Moreover, it is important to mention that chocobliss and cacaobliss, which often combine truffles or magic mushrooms with cacao and possibly other ingredients such as caapi, not only bring about the effects of the psychedelics themselves but can also influence the effects of cacao. The combination of these substances can have unpredictable effects, especially in people who are susceptible to mental disorders. Chocobliss and cacao bliss most likely contain Caapi and this liana have a lot of contraindications., including schizophrenia.
It is therefore highly recommended that the person in question investigates whether he has a genetic predisposition for schizophrenia and, if he does decide to use psychedelics, chooses milder variants such as a lower dosage of truffles, i.e., without various additives.
