Holy moly, they actually did it, awhile back I saw a research paper about the possibility to make designer psychedelics which don't have the hallucination issues but still provide the neuroplasticity benefits, and now of what little concerns there already were for it's safety, are now less of a concern.

To design the drug, dubbed JRT, researchers flipped the position of just two atoms in LSD's molecular structure. The chemical flip reduced JRT's hallucinogenic potential while maintaining its neurotherapeutic properties, including its ability to spur neuronal growth and repair damaged neuronal connections that are often observed in the brains of those with neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases.
