Did he give any clues as to which psychedelics he used? Not that his use of them is a certainty but it is considered. I've heard hints here and there about his possible use of them at certain times and places.
And theirs his deep, vast, understanding of the psyche which seems incomprehensible to come from one single person, given no one else since or before him has attained such knowledge, and conviction to it.
I want some of what he's had 😁

I only know of this quote, "The LSD-drug, mescaline: it has indeed very curious effects – vide Aldous Huxley! – of which I know far too little. I don’t know what its psychotherapeutic value with neurotic or psychotic patients is. I only know there is no point wishing to know more of the collective unconscious than one gets through dreams and intuition . . . I am profoundly mistrustful of the “pure gifts of the Gods”. You pay very dearly for them."
From wikipedia, Quote:
n 1913, at the age of 38, Jung experienced a horrible "confrontation with the unconscious". He saw visions and heard voices. He worried at times that he was "menaced by a psychosis" or was "doing a schizophrenia". He decided that it was valuable experience and, in private, he induced hallucinations or, in his words, a process of "active imagination". He recorded everything he experienced in small journals, which Jung referred to in the singular as his Black Book,[66] considering it a "single integral whole"; and while among these original journals, some have a brown cover.

Jung's Red and Black books can be found at the Internet Archive. I am having trouble getting links working in their case or would post them.

I think Carl Jung personified the wave of East Meets West as far as mysticism goes. A man of his times. I Loved Man and His Symbols, but I do not agree with his view on collective unconscious, while I think it does map well onto memory itself, which is the resting mind that contains the residue of impressions of one's life's exposure to the collective - and which becomes one's internal collective of everything from which are elicited dream images as well as day to day behavior and perception of all kinds.
