I don't think anyone was bragging about their drug use and instead relayed stories of friends that had bad experiences on LSD. In fact, the story I told was about a friend who I can only imagine is dead today due to his drug use.
If I elected to, I could tell stories of friends who did various drugs and completed their PhD's and today are well respected figures in science and academia. In fact, I have seen articles posted here on FR by and about people who I witnessed doing hard drugs when we were in college. And for the most part, those people were met with affirmation here on FR.
And there lies the riddle of drug use, some use and their lives fall apart while others can use and they succeed in this world.
As for me, I was always scared $hitle$$ about addiction and never pushed the envelope with a substance.
And I would never advise anyone do any of the drugs mentioned on this thread but unlike some I would not want to see anyone go to prison because they elect to do certain drugs.
We are adults and we make adult decisions and we do not need the Nanny State Sycophants condemning out decisions of the past.

And, if you did (make such posts) it would be of value to a naive future reader, in what way?

Neither do I “condemn” you. I merely expressed the opinion that posting about it NOW, on FR, might not be a good thing. Perhaps I did not do so well. If my incautious post could be misconstrued, perhaps yours could be too.
