Honestly, though, I don't believe in the whole "insight into your illness" aspect of psychedelics. I think every alcoholic knows down to their core that drinking alcoholically is harmful. The benefit lies in the interruption of addiction and ability to stop cravings. Also, Bill W suggested LSD use as a means of obtaining the spiritual experience that is basically required for AA. It's almost impossible to do certain psychs without having a mystical experience, especially psilocybin. I think that's a great thing to experience, but as of now, I don't think the classical psychs (LSD, mushrooms, mescaline) are really a "cure" for addiction
Edit: I forgot to mention that I do believe that psychedelics can help immensely with emotional, mental, and spiritual issues
