I don't think you can generally say if LSD is "good or bad" for you. I think, for sure, it changes your perspective, but, that change in perspective be good, bad, or valueless.
For me, I only used LSD and mescaline a handful of times. I have had both amazing and horrifying experiences on both. My response after my experiences, rather than the experiences themselves, led to the most insight.
For instance, I used mescaline, felt really anxious and, when it was over, I never wanted to feel that level of anxiety again. This desire pushed me into only taking meditation courses in college for a semester, meditating 3+ hours a day, and almost influenced me to become a Buddhist monk in Japan. I haven't used drugs since and have no interest in doing so.
In retrospect, my psychedelic experiences were positive overall. In order to achieve that, however, I had to go through a lot of suffering.
So yeah, we're all wired differently, have had different life experiences, are pre-disposed to a variety of mental illnesses/states - all of these things can impact a psychedelic experience, for better or worse. In other words, the answer to your question is dependent on the person, their stage in life, their immediate context, their plans for the futures, their family history, etc. etc. etc.
