I don't think that kossTKR said anything about the ingestion of these substances being unnatural; rather, their implication is that psychedelics are poised as a solution to the depressive symptoms that we feel by nature of living in the societies that we do.
In other words: instead of fixing some of the symptoms caused by society, why not change society and the ways that we live?
There are strong parallels in western notions of mindfulness. In our society mindfulness/meditation are considered tools that helps us mitigate stress. The original intent was to stop the sources of stress and suffering by developing one's mind, but western interpretations fall far shorter of that, opting for a grotesquely simplified and amputated version of the original philosophy that aids in placating the masses rather than bringing about fundamental changes to the ways we live.
