Psychedelics are pretty unique drugs marred by lots of misinformation and media bias. The relevant bit for this though is that you aren’t on them all the time. Habitual users may use them up to once a week, and even that is pushing it over the long term. Many users treat them with deep respect and have a more ritualized usage. For example, instead of getting high every weekend they try to make time once every month or two and it’s a very intentional experience with music or nature or both, or whatever else works for them.
So you might be high for 8 hours every month or two. That’s a pretty realistic estimate. Yet despite that tiny amount of time spent actually on the drug, people do say it changes their life for the better. It’s still not for everybody though. They can be mentally challenging in ways that are difficult to describe, but it’s a lot to get into and trying to summarize would not be helpful.

Well thanks for taking the time to explain nonetheless!
