The research on Ketamine as a one-shot cure is very promising too. Microdosing of LSD or psilocybin also has some interesting anecdsta behind it. There is definitely a lot of research to be done on these and other psychotropics like Ayahuasca/DMT, and MDMA. Organizations like MAPS are starting to get this work done.

Also, on the negative side, it can make you believe extraordinary claims without a corresponding amount of evidence.

You sound like someone I know who is an acid head. He also has some far out there beliefs that he has no evidence to back up with, acid is a cure all among them, although his life is very messed up.

I've never tried it , personally, but I think a lot of people that take it end up believing something or some things that do not follow.

This can end up great for a person if it involves their own success and it gives them the drive to pursue it where others would give up (this is what I believe happened to Steve Jobs). But it can also have profound negative effects. The guy I knew used to be a good friend, have a good job, and on a great track , but now he's running around trying to cajole money from people and systematically lies about his problems.

LSD is not an automatic cure for depression, and definitely not a permanent one. That said it's had by far the best impact on mine.

LSD can help breaking bad patterns, but if someone has messed up eurotransmitter genetics, after two weeks they will return to the baseline :(

If you read reports of people after psychodelics, for many of them, after two weeks the symptoms return.

But yehah, people should research it more, and try it. Same with MDMA for fighting with traumas and anxiety.
