This was my opinion only, based on my experiences and experiences of people I know. You can tell this by the way I use "enlightenment" in a very loose way when it is obviously impossible (as far as I know) to measure (I don't believe the state even exists, other than as a form of self deception or mental illness, to put a not so fine point on it).

Also by the fact that I am a random blowhard on the internet. :-)

You may disagree about my recommendation to stay away. Fine. However, do not pull this rhetorical trick on me. That is, require me to have a set of numbers to even state my opinion on a matter that, frankly, has no numbers, and could be argued either way by those so invested. Say what you mean... would you rather I use "seems to me to be" rather than "is"?

You see, as you may have noticed, there isn't a whole lot of information on the benefits of LSD. Just a lot of anecdotes and poorly designed research experiments. There are very well documented cases of the dangers. Whether that's due to bad genetics, bad dosing or impure samples, I don't know, but again, I think it's rather a dumb thing to risk your brain for.
