If you change "psychonaut" to "recreational drug user," half the problems would disappear in an instant.
The occult world needs to embrace the idea of doing strange drugs for fun. The insistence that psychedelic experience has anything to do with esoteric or spiritual type of things is part of why it drags so many would-be wizards into mental and physical depravity.
Don't be a psychonaut. Just do drugs.

An obvious truth but one worth stating: psychosis usually emerges from places other than psychedelics.
When they are connected, it's usually a case of a mind experiencing that which it wasn't ready to experience. When that hurdle is cleared, the biggest danger is the same snare that catches many users of psychedelics: mistaking the map for the territory, obsessively thinking "This image means something" rather than "What is it in me that this image speaks to?". One makes one dependent on chemicals in order to commune, the other turns the experience into one part of a broader self-inquiry. Even that has to be treated with care too. Not everything is more than a mental cloud, insubstantial and passing by when the next breeze comes along.
For my part, I found the immediate after-effects of DMT more intriguing than the visions and breakthrough itself. The integration seemed a more powerful tool to me.

When I smokked DMT my consciousness was widely expanded. I smoked it almost everyday for about six montths and then a few times about a yearr later. It seemed to me that when I was "invited" to the city(s) and saw what I saw, my mind became "unlocked". And, like you said, the integration following (when I wassn't smoking dmt and was working on my self instead) was much more powerful than just seeing a psychedelic snake dance.
I would say, five yearrs later, when I had a SERIOUS mental breakdown (due to my spiritual practices), I had the same course occur. The mental illness started showing signs and as I was able to take it in, I was able to integrate my reality into my spiritual beliefs. Of couse that took some time to integrate all the crazy shit that happening, longer than when I smokedd DMT, but it ws probbly more impactful because it came from my mind instead of a drug.
