whilst i fully support people experimenting with their own minds im not entirely sure some mass drug taking event will particularly help in any way (if that were the case the likes of Bangface and Burning Man would have fixed the world by now)
people should be free to experiment however im also a firm believer that psychoactives, psychedelics in particular are not for everyone, people should be informed about them but not encouraged to take them and especially not as some sort of protest, some people are easily influenced and could potentially be encouraged to take a chemical they arent actually comfortable with just to be part of the "movement"
this may be all well and good to do with some of the more (what i would describe as) simple and direct chemicals like say THC, cocaine or even opiates, these are pretty predictable, even if youre in the worst headspace in the world the end result will be pretty similar and unlikely to be unpleasant, quite a contrast to the likes of LSD, DMT or other various tryptamines and phenethylamines which have drastically different effects depending on your mood, the setting and many other factors.
that said the "Acid Tests" of the 60s didnt have any massive fallout that im aware of and at that time people were pretty uninformed about it, doses were also on the high side to say the least (these days an average LSD tab contains 100-150ug but during the acid tests the average dose was 250ug which is one hell of a dose for a first timer) so maybe my fears are less real than i imagine
