low dose LSD
100 mcg is useful for creative problem solving with non-personal matters (e.g., physics, biomechanics, or architecture).
Jim attributes this to enhanced focus and pattern recognition.
[We gave] them psychedelics and [had them] relax with music and eye shades for a couple of hours. And then, right at the peak, we bring them out and say, You may work on your problem ...
p.108
There's a saying in the psychedelic world: If you get the answer, you should hang up the phone. In other words, when you get the message you need, you shouldn't keep asking (i.e., having more experience), at least until you you've done some homework assignments, or used the clarity gained to make meaningful changes. It's easy to use the medicine as a crutch and avoid doing your own work, as the compounds themselves help in the short term as antidepressants.
([ low dose LSD is a short-term remedy for depression, should be studied and investigated; how does it affect clinically depressed people with chronic depression and suicidal tendency or other symptoms? ])
([ LSD, upgrade the law; keep the illegal part, put in exemption and exception for medical use, how would you implement that? ])

Arthur Koeslter, The Act of Creation, 1964
Koestler suggests that we are at our most creative when rational thought is suspended - for example in dreams and trance-like states. Then the mind is capable of receiving inspiration and insight. Taking humor as his starting point, Koestler examines what he terms ‘bisociative’ thinking - the creative leap made by the mind that gives rise to new and starling perceptions and glimpses of reality.

Ideally, you would be sleeping in a hammock. You should be waking up in the morning feeling amazing without having to loose up your lower back.
p.126
Yes, you'd ideally be able to sleep on the floor and wake up feeling great, but we are not those people anymore due to excess sitting and inactivity.
