Imo acid works for me almost the way that the famous saying about writing claims it does - write drunk, edit sober. Except it is more like "think about stuff and write it down on acid, act on it and process it again sober". The main difference compared to alcohol, weed, and a lot of other drugs is that it leaves a fairly long-lasting change. And not in a way that's like "oh, I am still feeling it", but more like how I imagine ketamine is supposed to work (never took it, so cannot validate personally) - while the drug is acting, you process and realize certain things that you had been unknowingly suppressing in your daily life, all while feeling funky. Once the drug wears off, you don't feel funky anymore, but you remember the parts you had been suppressing until that point, and now you can think through and process them normally and fully sober. So it isn't the drug itself still acting, you just ended up realizing certain things, and that realization let you consciously think about them later. Of course, it is also possible to have an acid trip where you don't realize anything and just waste your time on it. But imo that's a fool's errand, because acid doesn't feel that enjoyable just or "fun" on its own. At least it never did to me. But I am immensely glad the few times in my life I gave it a try. I would not call those experiences fun at all, but certain realizations about the direction of my life and my place in lives of others stuck with me (after i processed them sober later). And imo I, and people around me, are better off due to that. P.S. I am one of those people who cannot write any good code or be productive when drinking alcohol at all, not even the smallest amount that will make me feel it. Same with weed. And I am acutely aware of it.
