To a certain point I agree with you, mild psychedelics have been used for millennia to help people uncover their own issues and work through them.
The other side of that is that it is not a cure-all, and most of the people that habitually use psychedelics tend to check out from reality.
So, even if they can be used medicinally and be helpful, they are a double-edged sword in that just because you've seen through some of your own assumptions doesn't necessarily mean you've pierced the veil of the greater illusion of Maya.
I totally agree, that's way I stated that I wouldn't recommended it. Most of the time when you're ready to delve into this unknown realm, It should be a personal choice with proper education and respect. Most of the time when it's a personal choice it's because you feel it's the right time for yourself and not because cool-kids or some random stranger said so. It's some strange inner calling and mysterious curiosity that draws you into.
I've personally found them to be useful after I've already gained the knowledge to make a significant change, and the trip can help to actualize the understanding of how that knowledge fits into the greater world as a whole. They should definitely be paired with vigorous and passionate pursuit of real world knowledge during the rest of your life, for the best effect, in my opinion.
