I've tried most of the accessible ones: lsd, psilocybin, mdma. I've only ever taken large doses of lsd once, psilocybin twice, and beginner does of mdma 3 times. I also went through a period of lsd microdosing.
With mushrooms, I had the classic realignment experience - sanctity of life, ego drop, sympathy for my demons, etc. I did my large dose of LSD hiking with friends so it wasn't as profound and felt mostly recreational (which I tend to not like). mdma was worth it for experiencing what seemed like an unattainable extremity of joy, but the first time was the last time it was profound.
In general, for psychologically stable people, I think they can be an upgrade. They tend to temporarily free you from who you are letting you see you're capable of being more.
It's great for perspective I think. Would you use these things again? Would you try other things like Ayahuasca, bufo, or Salvia?

MDMA was amazing for me but coming down was BRUTAL for me. Scared me away. Don't know if I would do that again.

That makes sense, I got mine from someone in Vegas, maybe it wasn't just MDMA. I was making some bad decisions at that time. It did give me some major insights though. I ended up ending a long relationship after that.

Yeah. Bufo is the opposite of that. Comes in fast, wrecks your world and leaves. The after effects can be forever though. I have worked with Ayahuasca a lot. Pretty powerful stuff. Helped me work through a lot. At the end of the day, it seems to depend on the intentions of the user. I have always wanted to grow with these things as a tool. I struggle to have a good time with them. But it's worth it to transform.

Reminded me of a go to phrase from a certain politician.
The phrase is so popular, i thought it would be funny to not complete the full quote. Leave people hanging, ya know?

They are good for that. Great for perspective. We still have to deal with who we are, but a temporary shift can help a lot I think.
I wanna know! i don't get out much.
