Isn't that just the thing about LSD it allows you to view things from a perspective that makes them look beautiful. It makes ordinary things look great.
It's not what you should take if you are truly trying to accomplish something, other than be able to change your point of view.
Problem with your co-workers may have been that they didn't assume they were on drugs, that of course it will affect your productivity when everything starts looking good enough already. That's what drugs are like, if you take drugs, be aware you will be under their influence.
LSD is not a "performance enhancing drug" like perhaps could be said about amphetamines. The effect of those is truly detrimental to your health. But they make you more productive. A fighter-pilot on amphetamine might shoot down 3 enemy planes and then get shot down themselves. Productive but not so healthy.
- psysharp 6y agoWell you’d be lucky if you were able to define your goals as such that psychedelics or meditation were attributed as productive, instead of in many ways the polar opposite of amphetamines, I think.
