Impossible for me to say honestly. It's difficult to say what judgment I would make if my judgment were divorced from the intimate familiarity I have with the substance through personal experience with it.
I've always been more curious than cautious though, so if I was familiar with the data and information around the personality transformations that seems skewed toward the more favorable I would've probably still done it.
Looking back on the four times I have done it I'm reminded of the three best days of my life and the day I was forced to confront and overcome my greatest fear, as well as the way it has shaped my current life perspective, goals, morals, and drive to be a better person and I can say my experience with psychedelics has been the most positively pivotal experience of my entire life and I have no regrets.
