This was my opinion only, based on my experiences and experiences of people I know. You can tell this by the way I use "enlightenment" in a very loose way when it is obviously impossible (as far as I know) to measure (I don't believe the state even exists, other than as a form of self deception or mental illness, to put a not so fine point on it).
Also by the fact that I am a random blowhard on the internet. :-)
You may disagree about my recommendation to stay away. Fine. However, do not pull this rhetorical trick on me. That is, require me to have a set of numbers to even state my opinion on a matter that, frankly, has no numbers, and could be argued either way by those so invested. Say what you mean... would you rather I use "seems to me to be" rather than "is"?
You see, as you may have noticed, there isn't a whole lot of information on the benefits of LSD. Just a lot of anecdotes and poorly designed research experiments. There are very well documented cases of the dangers. Whether that's due to bad genetics, bad dosing or impure samples, I don't know, but again, I think it's rather a dumb thing to risk your brain for.
I have no interest in arguing for psychedelics here - my interest in asking the question is exactly as stated - about truth and Enlightenment. So many people claim Enlightenment in the world today but in history only a very small handful actually have the evidence of the ability (and knowledge), theretofore unknown but necessary information, wisdom (vision), and life that come along with it. Since Enlightenment is an extremely essential thing for mankind I'm always careful to confirm what is true and false in people's words when they speak about it.
