IMO lsd will never cure depression but when i did shrooms a few times anxiety and depression where completely cured. Take some mushrooms with a psychedelic dose first before microdosing.
I dont have a fraction of your experience or knowledge on this or substances in general, and I totally respect your experience and opinion.
However, I wonder if Lsd could work much more powerfully and fully for somebody else's depression?
Despite it not being the right tool for you which you needed at that time. But I understand why you say this and I'm not at all surprised you had this experience which matches with what I would possibly expect to hear from many different people actually.
Shrooms simply offer a more instant, direct route to the underlying emotional problem, IMO.
With Lsd you can actually quite easily take a fun detour in a state of hysteria, and just hang out on the other side of town. In this sense I think Mushrooms are far less recreational and much more oriented towards self-improvement and the identification and freeing of inner shackles.
A lot of people say they don't like shrooms. I think in some cases that is partly because they don't like themselves lol!
I think it is probably a little easier to turn a blind eye with Lsd, or at least when confronted with the unnerving image in the mirror, to not be so consumed and disturbed by it.
So I would reason that Mushrooms have a greater potential for truly unlocking the depths of the psyche, not without work and pain, as such is healing.
But I also feel Lsd can be a very powerful and effective tool all to help people release and overcome depression to a greater extent than others such as yourself depending on the individual and and requirements.
