TIL that in 2000, a drug bust at an abandoned nuclear missile silo in Kansas led to a 95% drop in availability of LSD in the United States for two years.

I agree. I actually experimented with LSD during the most difficult time of my life and it helped me gain a new perspective on myself, my situation, and the choices I made that led me to being in that difficult time. Not saying that will work for everyone, but after that whole experimental phase was over, I became more goal-oriented and absolutely changed for the better. I found a career that I am incredibly passionate about. I take better care of myself physically and mentally. I became a more compassionate person. I stopped drinking and getting high all the time. I became better version of myself and if I'm being totally honest, I don't think I would have made those changes if not for the experiences and critical introspective thoughts I had while experimenting with LSD. I was also in therapy during this time and honest and upfront with my therapist about my occasional LSD use. I know that both therapy and my experience with LSD changed my life for the better.

DISCLAIMER: THIS WILL NOT WORK FOR EVERYONE AND NOT ALL OF MY EXPERIENCES WERE PLEASANT, BUT IT WAS CRUCIAL IN GETTING ME TO A BETTER PLACE IN MY LIFE, PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, AND EMOTIONALLY.
