It just might be the same thing as everything someone is doing more then others. Like building legos in your lego cave, going golfing every week etc. etc.

Yes the experience of LSD is shattering your own reality but for me, i'm very conscious to not promote it in something everyone needs to experience.

Having a flashback on the toilet 4 weeks later and thinking 'does it ever go away, am i imprisoned now, did i break my brain' for 10 minutes, is something difficult to handle.

Also while doing it and experiencing once, i'm fine with doing it every decade once, still not promoting it to everyone.

Giving LSD to someone on their death bed without prior experience? Holy shit no.

Eh, if I were slowly dying over the course of weeks, and I were given 50/50 odds: "this wild ameliorate your mortality salience, or break your brain and make you crazy" I'd still take that. Heck, if you're worried about being crazy, you are probably less worried about death.

I would probably prefer a high morphine dose though.

Lying in a hospital bed and tripping for the first time might just a little bit crazy.

NOT! Saying it should be illegal, i think the current laws are braindead.

Yeah, experiencing that in a hospital cot sounds awful. I believe usually they have some sort of comfortable space for that.

I have to say, I think you underestimate the suffering brought by insanity. Thankfully the odds are much better than that.

Actually I've struggled with bipolar disorder for two decades so I'm rather well acquainted with suffering caused by distorted perceptions of reality. Maybe that's why it's less daunting of a proposition to me :)

But yes you're completely right, the actual odds of an adverse psychologic reaction are much lower. My point was moreso that dealing with terminal illness can lead to its own kind of detachment from reality and all sorts of stress.

I like that thought of yours 'dealing with terminal illness can lead to its own kind of detachment from reality and all sorts of stress.'
