My original post left too much to the imagination and I realise re-reading it that it appears as an attack on professionalism within science, and possibly even an attack specifically on the parent commenter's friend, and I regret that angle. What I broadly mean is that modern society has done a relatively poor job at helping to produce integrated humans that have the capacity, tools, and know-how to navigate their inner journey. I know this sounds woo to a lot of people here. That the new wave of psychedelic interest is reified as purely medical treatment is a continuation of this trend. That is what I'm trying to articulate. I have a deep suspicion that you can't simply sterilise the transformation at the heart of these experiences.
