Strongly against this, as there's no scientific evidence that exposure to mind altering substances provides long-term personality changes in openness or empathy. Additionally, as someone on the psychotic spectrum but was unable to receive diagnosis until my mid to late 20s, exposure to LSD when I was diagnosed only with mild depression would've probably sent me to the hospital and permanently ruined my life. I suspect I'm not the only one, as schizophrenia often manifests (if it's going to manifest) beyond the 18 year mark.
