I don't disagree. Also i am all for this small step towards hopefully an eventual legalisation! I even wrote that i tried them myself. I just wanted to illuminate a certain aspect of mainstream, adoption that i find potentially problematic but apparently that's not something people really want to discuss at this moment in time i can se by the torrent of downvotes. To elaborate it's the same dillema that widespread corporate Mindfulness presents, or the problem of using all kinds of other -in essence beautiful/profound measures- but in a decontextualised and corporate context to push depressed workers or the general standing reserve to perform better while the "true" solutions are actually about rights, real-wages, loneliness, painfully long work hours or other classical problems that psychedelics won't help you with. A good "bad trip" can help you "wake up" and realise that your life circumstances are unnatural and bad and make you want to steer you life in another direction and that's beautiful. But if psychedelics becomes a way to push an already stressed out population to find meaning and beauty in horrible conditions then that's not a good thing - just as weed as a life long sedative is also a bit depressing i my eyes. Chop wood and carry water but don't remove the context of doing it. Just like rituals, myth, community and location worked as context for psychedelics. This is - at least i think - is important to remember when re-introducing powerful concepts. It's because it's very very potent that we need to be critical.
