Your first paragraph is exactly how I describe it to people. I'm a big proponent of LSD, but only to those that I think are intelligent enough to make a considered choice[1], and always with caveat that it involves a temporary lapse in your ability to shove things down into your subconscious that you'd rather not deal with. The implication is that if you feel like you're not currently ready to throw open that door and take an honest look at your issues, then it's likely not yet for you.

[1] I know this is unavoidably derisive, but I mean this in the most mundane way possible. Some people I know can read the literature & integrate other sources of data (including anecdotal data and cautious experimentation) and come out with a best-effort understanding of the science that's far superior to the blunter recommendations and laws that are the start and end of most people's investigations. The latter play an important role, since most people just don't have the critical thinking or epistemological skills to integrate a big messy pile of data saying contradictory things with different types and quality of source. This goes for everything from psychedelics to nutrition to interpreting your blood test results.
