If you are predisposed (and never rule out your ancestry has a secret) you could be at risk for a bad trip which could trigger schizophrenia.

Since I'm not aware of any research that has been done on trying to figure out if the kind of trip counselling places like Johns Hopkins uses for their MAPS program compensates for someone at risk for a bad trip, I'm a bit weary of the enthusiasm for this stuff. On the other hand, it would be nice to know if tripping is something that trip counselling can make safe even for someone with psychosis (stabalized on an antipsychotic).

Unfortunately, I've written off the prospects of tripping in this lifetime so far.
