Very interesting stories - such massive doses of psychedelics can be dangerous for a number of reasons and you really shouldn't ingest anywhere near such dosages without medical care on standby.
In general though, anecdotes of psychedelics curing a number of mental illnesses are starting to become well supported by the scientific literature. The wide variety of benefits from psychedelics - particularly psilocybin - are being actively investigated in quite a few clinical trials. We're talking about safe and long-term cures for depression, anxiety, addiction - while also promoting neurogenesis and neuroplasticity [1][2][3].
I believe we're on the brink of a modern psychedelic revolution in medicine, one that has been long overdue since these effects were documented and investigated over 70 years ago - and known to ancient indigenous cultures for thousands of years.
