That's why you should build the mental fortitude through meditation instead of diving into psychedelics without proper training, then you might actually benefit from the experience instead of being scared. The best thing about meditation is that you will only be shown what you are equipped to handle at the time, while with external substances you're at the mercy of the drug.
So yes, I would take you up on the offer but only due to my mental resilience.

Not that anon but for a beginner how would you approach meditation training?

Making it into a routine, for example meditating for an hour before bed and being consistent with it, that's how I started anyway. For quickest results you should do it in the dark with no distractions, while focusing on the empty space in front of you. Over time you can experiment with the empty space, shrinking it, expanding it etc. When you're done grasping what's in front of you, you can begin shifting your attention inwards.
A lot of it is subjective so I'd be wary with exact guides, practice over theory.
