I think I understand your sentiment when applied to a subset of people. Specifically people who’s lives may be a mess and they are leaning too heavily too drugs to change their lives. I don’t think psychedelics alone should be used for that.
I feel that people (yourself as well) are being far too focused on psychedelics usage for healing/treatment. There is another aspect to psychedelics where you literally experience something transcendental. that experience alone can be humbling, terrifying, amazing, or any other range of feelings. It can certainly be learning. Something that you perhaps can’t even put into words. And even many of the experiences that you are be able to somehow find words or metaphors to describe, the new perspective(s) can be interesting at worst case. They can show you knew ways to think of problems or even serve as new creative ideas for art, and of course cause you to make various changes to improve your life. I could probably easily name 100+ interesting thoughts that psychedelics have showed me and I certainly haven’t dabbled anywhere close to 100 times and don’t really feel the need to.There is also of course also doing them for the pure enjoyment of them. For example, I’d wager many people would prefer a psychedelic experience over being drunk. Much in the same way that people may prefer marijuana over alcohol.
