Fair enough. I was just trying to stress the 'unknowable' quality of
LSD. Having taken it differs so dramatically to not having yet
experienced it that it's impossible to overstate the sense of
revelation attendant.

If I were teetotal, I would still have a fair idea of how being drunk
affects people. Of course I would still not know 'how it feels' to be
drunk, but I reckon I would have a good idea. But the gap between what
I thought I understood about another person's intoxicated condition,
and what that intoxicated person knew, would be much much smaller than
the gap between someone who has been through that indesceribable
experience of taking LSD for the first time.

Hence the line of thinking that one should only really take LSD once -
there's no need to repeat the experience.
