Yeah, I'm pretty sure heart problems are a thing but kidney problems seems like misidentification and not a problem with the actual psilocybin mushrooms themselves.

My personal opinion is that for macrodosing you're probably fine because tolerance naturally limits how often you can trip, but if you microdose every day you should probably be worried about what the constant exposure is doing to your heart valves.

It is somewhat ominous that Dr. Shulgin himself needed heart valve surgery, but he's an outlier and that's anecdotal evidence anyway.
