you can still make decisions while under influence of alcohol. With LSD you lose “control” with a full dose, so bad trips can make people highly unpredictable in ways that isn’t true about alcohol. That’s my point.
The most surprising thing from my (single) LSD experience was it somehow changed my perspective at the time on work and school. Almost overnight, I went from being apathetic and unmotivated to seeing work as the most moral thing one could do, and something to be proud of. I’m not sure why since I don’t remember any conversations about work at the time. It felt like a lightbulb.
LSD is not a dissociative like GHB or PCP.
Almost everyone on a full dose will be completely lucid with full mental clarity. Of course there are outliers and mega doses, but those are not the norm. I would argue a common side effect is INCREASED awareness, not loss of control.
Alcohol on the other hand...
DMT on the other hand, when someone blasts off they are gone for a good 10-15 minutes.
...Sure, such as deciding to drive home despite the fact you are barely able to walk to your car.
