I dare anyone to watch the next video and still argue that LSD is bad for you... or me... or anyone out there
When you say spiritual, I do not think you are thinking about the dark sides of spirituality such a cult, and government mind control programs. There are many recorded instances from the 60's and 70's of cults using it to brainwash members, as there are of government doing so (MKULTRA). My view is that if you take lsd you're potentially handing your volition over to these people.
LSD can't mind control. It can make people more open to suggestion, but no more or less than a drunk person. The real danger in LSD and mushrooms is in prolonged use. Neither are deadly or have any medical problem, except that the brain is an ever evolving organ, synapses wire, break, and rewire depending on the needs of the organ itself. Research on LSD and mushrooms have been illegal since the mid-sixties in most western nations, so there's little research about the effects-- and most research is now over forty years old. That being said, I have a feeling long term use of said drugs rewires the brain in ways that are not conducive to "everyday" life-- I've seen my fair share of long term "trippers" and they're not normal, not even by autistic standards are they "normal".
