I've done psychedelics and a bunch of different drugs, and honestly I don't see how it's any different from getting drunk. Sure, being drunk is different from being high on acid, but that's also different from being high on THC. It's just a bunch of different ways of your brain being effectively poisoned and acting in weird ways.
It's fun, it might even be called liberating, and it definitely can affect your brain. But let's not go so far as to suggest that it's this magic thing that will turn you into an awesome person.
Now, they do say that alcoholics make the best writers, and likewise I'm sure that some people are more creative when they are on psychedelics or other drugs (assuming that by "creative" one means the ability to create abstract art, not the ability to design a bridge). But it also comes with a significant cost in intelligence and coherence.
