I don't really get negative side effects with psychedelics, I think that's why I like them so much. If I do coke, speed, Es, even booze, I always feel sh*tty for a few days afterwards, but with shrooms, acid, mescaline, I feel fantastic the next day, a bit spaced out and unsociable, sure, but full of life and imagination and everything looks more beautiful.
I have read stories of flashbacks (people suddenly reliving part of a trip) which sound quite dangerous, but I've never experienced that or know anyone who has. The worst thing that can happen, as you said, is a bad trip; everybody gets those eventually, and they're truly terrifying, but they end up being the best trips. The calm after the storm is ineffable.
