I am not sure if LSD use in college gave me any real insights, but it did leave me with a permanent recognition of my internal thought processes. Becoming acutely aware of them essentially. Instead of two layers (internal thoughts then observed reality) there were three (myself, internal thoughts, then observed reality).

Spot on. My ability to separate myself from an issue and view it as a 3rd party came around this.

Sometimes you had separate yourself pretty far from something to be able absorb and understand an issue, and LSD can cause that space.

I see the space, the separating, as the benefit. Gave new prospective.
