Is it worth it to try psychedelics and hallucinogetics? I've always been too much of a pussy and just stick to alcohol and weed, but I'm curious how much of the discourse around it is real advice and how much is 20th century drug war propaganda that's been zapped into my brain.
I won't say it's necessarily always a pleasant time, but psyches have been one of the most Interesting experiences in my life and do make you realize how fluid reality can be.
4aco-dmt is legal for "research" purposes, it's essentially a prodrug to psilocin like psilocybin (mushrooms).
Is it worth it to try psychedelics and hallucinogetics?
Yes, absolutely. I wouldn't say psychedelics are the most fun drugs i've ever taken, but definitely the most interesting and complex substances i've ever come across. I'm also forever grateful for the insights i've made thanks to MDMA, although that argueably is the most fun drug i've ever taken.

These drugs are villified a lot. This applies to any illegalized mind-altering substance out there, but it goes especially for LSD, which has been demonized to ridiculous degress. If you want more objective and diversified information, i can recommend erowid.org, shroomery and the archives of the bluelight forum for the particularly exotic stuff.
Second this! I could have written the exact same post. Since you mentioned MDMA, I feel like I have to give a warning. Many people who try MDMA fall in love with the substance and overdo it. Please, wait at least 2-3 month after each roll. MDMA messes with your serotonin big time and that can lead to huge mental problems. MDMA played a huge role in my radicalization and helped my SO deal with some bad trauma. Even though MDMA led me to opioids (to not have to deal with the hangover - studip, I know) which led me to years of addiction, I would still say it was a net positive. But that's very subjective and me and my SO had lots to deal with.
LSD on the other hand has no negative effects (MDMA is Neuro toxic). Trips are exhausting but not in a negative way. You can learn a lot about yourself and maybe about the universe (or at least it feels like it). Acid is also great for art. Paintings might tell you their stories and music is on a whole different level. It ignited my love for movies (seriously people, watch Mulholland Drive on acid, it changed my life).
I only had one bad trip, which was my fault, not LSD's. Set and setting is half the trip. What you should not do is question your decision after you made it. Think "oh shit, oh fuck, I want this to end" Will only make it worse. Tell yourself that it's just a trip, it's great to feel something different and there is no reason to be afraid. Everything is fine.
If you take acid, which is lsd, which can typically be found in 'tabs' read small squares (less than half a centimetre per 100 mikrogramm hit) of papery substance onto which liquid lsd solution was dripped, I suggest to start with a near ineffective dosage. Take less than an eight so around 12.5 mikrogramm, with other words a triangle of a square you get when you quarter the tab.
You can use a nail scissor to cut it out.
Do take it at home, with a friend and do take it early so you can fall asleep (it might make you more active / stop you from falling asleep for up to 12-14 hours).
Do prepare fruit, a few veggies, a bit food, watery drinks, blankies,before you take a hit.
Once you took it (three options: put under tongue, swallow, solve in water and drink water) do wait up to an hour before you notice it (typically 20 minutes is enough), DON'T take more cause you think you want more. Especially for your first time. Refrain from alcohol use parallel to acid use, cause it will diminish your trip as it is a representation

Make sure sure your mind's in at least a pretty stable place beforehand
If you do, start slow, start small, make gaps.
