LSD, at least for me, was forced meditation.. you're in a mental state where the present moment is all there is. That was a complete opposite of the ADHD mental state, where I resisted being in the present, but lived in the future to look forward to, the past to avoid things I didn't like or could potentially hurt me, and just uncontrollable urge to understand how everything works.

The truth is, we only have so much time left on this earth, that it's impossible to understand everything that exists.. we can only try our best with the situations we're in and given.

Anyway, once I realized the importance of the present moment, it made it easier for me to do things I've always wanted to do, and neglected to do. I felt like my mind did a disk-defrag, completely nuked my old self, and started with a clean new slate to relearn things.
