A: Hallucinations are not always that common. You can have intense experiences without actual visual hallucinations.

B: While they made me a side effect, it seems the benefits come from having experiences, not as ongoing medication like SSRIs. That is, people can have a deep experience, possibly have audio and/or visual hallucinations, then recover for a day and have a significantly different outlook on life.

B: That's not quite true, there is ex some LSD research around pain management where people where far from having hallucinations.
