I enjoy exploring altered states of being and the first time I tried LSD, after maybe a week or so, I discovered I was suddenly capable of saying no to people. Before that I’d sacrifice my own wellbeing just so I could help another person with something minor. During the LSD trip I remember seeing myself in my mind and the other me told me “love yourself more”.
This is one account of hundrets, if not thousands, of ones similar to mine. LSD (and psychedelics in general) most certainly has properties that can be incredibly beneficial for mental health.
Per weed it helps you chill out lol, not much to say here, it’s alcohol lite but without being physically addictive. Wonderful for anxiety, just not long term most likely.
