I know this is heretical in today's world, but I think LSD was one route to
spiritual insights that are far more powerful and permanent than the outward
cultural paraphernalia and fads of the 60's, 70's.

It may be heresy, but if that is so, I am a heretic. LSD can lead to
valuable insights; it is also fun. Post-1960s drugs tend to be about fun
without any possibility of increasing self-awareness. Of course, many of
those drugs -- e.g. cocaine, crystal meth, crack, and so on -- are terribly
damaging. (Alcohol is at the top of the list of drugs that do not provide
any kind of spiritual insight but cause a great deal of damage.)
Sadly, somewhere along the line, we as a culture (counter?) forgot how
useful LSD is. And how much fun it can be. Maybe it is because Owsley is
hanging out in Australia.
