“since no one can provide an example to me in person, on command, it must not be possible for anyone”

take me as your first anecdotal example of someone whose life has been significantly and measurably improved since taking psychedelics. there goes your entire argument.

I would love to hear more about your experience and how it measurably improved your life. My point though is not that it is impossible for people to see real benefits. My point is that the vast majority of people that have tried it don’t seem any better off than before.

Are the people taking it actually going into it with any intention or work done before? Or they were just taking it for a fun or interesting time?
