I quit taking street drugs because a street drug convinced me not to take them anymore.
Took a bunch of acid and it just kept telling me to stop taking so much drugs, every time and it wouldn’t be once, it was just randomly start telling me why I need to quit drugs, it was weird and only acid, mushies just made me love everything, acid had my back. I’m sober because LSD cared enough to convince me.
I think that LSD takes away your ability to ignore things. That applies to things around you, hence the feeling of enhanced perception – your brain no longer filters out all the things cracks in the sidewalk that you normally ignore. This is independent from the hallucinations, of course.
But it also applies to all those thoughts you’ve been ignoring. Hence the life-changing insights people report having; in your case I think you were subconsciously aware that you should quit drugs but didn’t want to confront that thought. LSD made you confront it.
(By the way, that’s also why I think people with unresolved trauma should be very careful around LSD. Being forced to deal with your repressed shit all at once can go very badly depending on what you’re repressing.)

Ooooh yeah it can, I had to ban my housemate from acid because he had a reeeeeaaal fuckin bad trip, some core memories unlocked that night.
Yep. My closest male friend besides my brother quit everything besides weed (alcohol included!) and he was addicted to crack and all sorts of substances. He might be the strongest man I know.

If weed is your only/wildest vice after trying a lot of shit out I think you should be proud of yourself. 👍
