Psychedelics could be 'next generation' of safer treatments for mental health
"Psychedelic drugs like LSD and ecstasy ingredient MDMA have been shown to stimulate the growth of new branches and connections between brain cells which could help address conditions like depression and addiction.
Researchers in California have demonstrated these substances, banned as illicit drugs in many countries, are capable of rewiring parts of the brain in a way that lasts well beyond the drugs' effects.
This means psychedelics could be the "next generation" of treatments for mental health disorders which could be more effective and safer than existing options, the study's authors from the University of California."

And I do believe it can be used to change one's mindset. Without supervision, many people would be taking a huge risk in just 'dropping acid,' but if it could be incorporated into more official medicine, or if people seek out guides..this could work.
