Actually, the first time I used LSD that was partly the goal; I was trying to find some way to break my brain or otherwise manufacture some brand of insanity. For me though, it turned out not to be particularly capable of that on its own, or at least it doesn't seem to trigger that to happen. It did do something else that I ended up still liking, and that something else is what I use it for nowadays.
We are not stochastic parrots. Old components of our brain help “ground” our thoughts and allow things like doubt or a gut feeling to develop which means we can question ourselves in ways an LLM cannot.
