Better experience than mainstream chemicals?

Currently studying the effects of psychedelics and how context sets the experience, but I've only found people talking about classic and non-classic psychedelics.

So I was curious if anyone had their most profound or frightening experience on lesser known research chemicals.

Are there any that you would want to advocate for over the more mainstream substances? Perhaps a cautionary tale for why the mainstream are the most commonly used for a reason?

Please share your thoughts!
