Temporary Tracking/Trailing/Palinopsia After First Mushroom Use. Can I use mushroom again?

Question

Hello! Please remove if not allowed/correct sub.

At around 6 months ago I tried mushrooms for the first time, around 1.5-2 grams of mushrooms in pre-dosed pill form.

I didn’t really experience any visual or spiritual effects, but in the morning I went on a hike and I got temporary Tracking/Trailing/Palinopsia where there was almost a double vision effect on everything. When I moved my eyes a double or multiple version of that object would trail behind it. This went away after about 2 hours.

I didn’t think anything of it until I saw Andrew Callaghan’s story about taking mushrooms and getting visual snow, which also lead me to a video of someone who has Tracking/Trailing/Palinopsia from
Mushroom use but they didn’t say how much.

I want to try mushrooms again at a higher dose, but after seeing that video I am having second thoughts.

Would it be stupid of me to try them again after having temporary symptoms? Maybe this is similar to someone else’s story?

TIA
