I think that is an astute observation. Indeed if we look at the history of humans in general we have in some cases even mythological examples of, "substance use" (Kykeon, Soma). It may have been prudent to add, "at scale responsibly with an absolute minimum of human harm." I'd like to think that there's an arrangement of culture that isn't such a drag that the general mass of people need to get out of themselves regularly but perhaps that's a bit of a pipe dream. I've seen neoliberalism co-opt surfing, folk music, skateboarding, rock n' roll, sex, punk rock, tight jeans, baggy jeans, EDM, being gay, and being black in commercials and having recognized a pattern I really, really shudder to think what LSD culture will be like when it's sold alongside Baker skateboards and ripped mom jeans at Zumiez at the mall. I don't think it will be harmful at all but that's just the thing (...) all the, "revolutionary" potential will get sidelined and that's worse than a few dead Supermen or a few acid dropouts. Che Guevara t-shirts come to mind. You remember those robots things from X-Men: Days Of Future Past? How they could absorb the, "magic potential" of the mutant they targeted? What happens when the man, "absorbs" the chemical and spiritual potential of LSD, Mescaline, 5-MeO-DMT, or Psilocybin? What happens when we offend the gods by turning them into consumer products?
