I did LSD in my early 20s. I'm not sure it compares to other experiences here but for me it was an incredibly transformative step in understanding how my own brain works. It has been the most objectively useful experience since.
I also did LSD in my early 20s and had the same experience, it was very helpful to get past some mental barriers.
Then I got complacent and started doing it too much, really put myself in a bad mental state for around 2 years.
Just wanted to add onto this to say that it’s helpful, but you do need to respect it even though it’s not physically addictive. I’m not saying you’re one of them, but in general you’ll find too many people on the internet only promoting the upside.
Start 28 year old man, alchoholic, well paying job I hate.
End? Don't know I only started when I read this post. Im screwed eh?
Looking back from almost twice your age … you’re not screwed at all, you could have it all ahead of you.
When I was 28 I met my future wife. We’re currently planning a trip for our 20th. It’s been the best half of my life (by a lot).
I had my mid-life crisis a while back... actually now that I think about it it was around half my lifetime ago, and now I -- urk! *dies*
