Two times come to mind. The night I first met my brothers g/f- - I had a vision my brother and I would both have girl children, and shortly after, I would be separated from my child. And in sequence, we both had exactly one female child then I got a divorce.

Another time, an ex of mine, we hadn't spoken in a year or so, nor did I have her number (back then I would throw out numbers frequently to prevent me from contacting them while using drugs). A voice said, "X is in trouble and needs your help." So, with no way to contact her, I posted on the app we had met on (Whisper), and she got in contact within five minutes. She said it was weird because, she hadn't used the app in months but she got bored, installed it, and my post was the first one she saw. And I said, "This is going to sound crazy, but I was doing drugs and got a 'message' that you were in trouble. Are you?" And she said, "I am actually..."

was this verified by a third party? because if it's just himself validating his own "predictions", it's not really surprising. After all, we get deja vu all the time, which also feels like you predicted something.
Unrelated to drugs, but I’ve had one deja vu where I wrote it down, showed it to a coworker, and then we both watched as it came to pass. I have no theory how that could have happened but it did. I do know it’s not just memory order hitting short/long term memory.
I have had this experience as well without drugs.
