I don't have the energy or desire for it any more, but I found some of the experiences beautiful, mind-changing and life affirming. Others were simply ludicrous amounts of fun. And a few were merely boring. These days I'm a successful software engineer in a finance-adjacent space, making good money, living the dream.
I don't think LSD is some wonder drug that will save the world, but I do think that there is value in these substances. Young people should be given access to safety advice and clean, measured substances, not scare stories.
Such a claim would be better with evidence. What proportion of people who use LSD end up not 'surviving'? What are the actual, quantifiable harms? And which of those could be mitigated without the oppressive force of the law being in place? How do these harms compare to other substances and activities people undertake?
Still do.
