Can? Sure. I've heard from plenty of people that feel that way. Just to give an alternate perspective, I'm not sure doing 'shrooms at 16 made me a better person. It definitely altered my perception of what is real, but it wasn't a useful improvement. Mostly it just made me more prone to having panic attacks. I think I could be a better person today if I had never gone through that door, at least at that point in my life. On the other hand, it's hard to say whether it was the 'shrooms or not, as many of the terrifying existential questions it drove in me are thoughts that can be found elsewhere. I'd like to try them again sometime, just a few, to test the waters, but I'm also somewhat terrified of the consequences if my reality is shaken too much at this point in my life. So it goes.
