Relatedly, I just finished reading How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan, which does a great job of detailing the fascinating history of psychedelics and the current very promising resurgence of scientific research. It also does as good a job as one can expect at actually explaining what they are like, including descriptions of his own personal trips.

After reading the book, I wouldn't be surprised to see legal clinics open to the public in the US in the next 10-15 years.

Sam Harris does quite an impressive job articulating what a recent 5 gram mushroom trip was like, worth a listen.
