I have to agree. Been there, done that, tried most of them over a decade ago. Tripped with friends, tripped in nature, tripped alone, read Timothy Leary and Erowid reports, went to music festivals, etc. Guess what, it didn't cure my depression or catapult me into enlightenment. I actually had pretty horrible anxiety in my twenties for quite a while after I stopped taking psychedelics, to the point where I was afraid to fly or be in confined spaces. I still had to deal with all the difficult life transitions that everyone else has to go through. I still had to grapple with the fact that I'm going to die one day. I still had to deal with constant doubts over whether or not I was making the right choices in life, in terms of careers, relationships, and goals.
In short, my interest in psychedelics was nothing more than a phase, and one that many young people go through these days. It gave me some interesting experiences and don't regret doing them, but those experience didn't change me permanently.
