Somehow I have the feeling that psychedelics are still kind of glorified - mostly by creative people - and I can tell you all people are different. People's brains are all wired differently. Because they all went through different things in their lives. While it might help some, others might actually be left traumatized and with horrible flashbacks! Hacking your brain isn't easy!

It happened to me as a teenager. I had troubles concentrating, chalk boards would melt around teachers, trains coming in as snakes hissing, swallowing and spitting out people... at some point it stopped, but it surely wasn't always that enjoyable being "stuck" on a trip and feeling like moving through a dimension between dream and reality constantly. I mostly didn't care back then and thought it was kind of entertaining.

But I know now that I have some mental issues and LSD actually amplified the symptoms. So if you find yourself on the autistic scale and you're feeling depressed - probably better keep away from LSD... Your head is already so busy - try to do something more productive instead. ;)

Have to admit it was super interesting, but it left me with more bad effects than good in the end!

Depression is a big no (and other "demons").

But for autistic scale - experience of synesthesia is on the opposite edge. http://www.wired.com/2014/10/magic-mushroom-brain/ Though, the "lack of control" needs to be addressed before starting adventure.

I agree that "hacking one's brain" is not for everyone, and its better to be safe than sorry.
