Rather than hippie mysticism or revolutionary cant, Ghost’s text presents LSD as a scientific product of a modern research lab run by a pharmaceutical corporation. Without more information, that conclusion seems to be going too far. The package is a parody of a commercial product, and it would be totally unsurprising to me that the parody extended to the attitude of the text. Kodak almost certainly presented its contemporary film as "a scientific product of a modern research lab" in a similar way.
