I don't think anyone has any business recommending psychedelics for the same reason I don't think we should just surgically remove latent inhibition.
The effects run the gamut from massive increase in creativity and insight through to full-blown schizophrenia. Risky business.

are you saying that the impetus for "[person] should do psychedelics" should come from the person who would do them instead of an outside source?

Bingo. I knew for a long time (years) that I wanted to do LSD before I tried it. This was something that just *made sense* to me on some ineffable level.

I intensely despise the sort of person who, say, tries mushrooms once and then wants every motherfucker they meet on the planet to try it.
Fuck every one of these people.

Yeah, well, it's easier to just brush the surface of meditation than psychedelics.
These people have *life-shattering* experiences and somehow go through that with zero awareness that others may experience more of the shattering than the positive side-effects.
Idiots.
