About 160 µg later and it was similar to psilocybin
160ug first time and already had a pretty bad experience with psilocybin. A bad trip is not surprising then, I guess.
About six hours later, and it would be over. For most people.
Mhh, that does not align with what I heard. It's more like 8-12 hours until a trip is over. According to my experience, 4 hours is peak, 6 hours is still tripping but less.
It turns out that if you’re very unlucky, you’ll have strong negative side effects that may fuck you up for the rest of your life.
That’s me. I was very unlucky.

I’m happy to say that today is roughly a year since that happened, and I’m basically 100% recovered.
So, he wasn't one of the very unlucky ones?
It’s unclear how things turned out this way, but I think it’s certain that LSD has very real and unpredictable risks for some people.
Did anyone ever say that this is not the case? People can tell their stories how LSD changed their life. To assume this means that this is the case for everyone is not the fault of the people who just told their story. OP said it himself: it's just anecdotal evidence.
While doing research, I read about all the possible negative experiences. Not sure how OP comes to the conclusion that this is not "known". At least this reads like that.
But talking about anecdotal evidence... the actual evidence says that LSD is indeed less harmful than many other drugs:
