The problem is buying power isn't increasing across all domains of needs. Even though a 3rd world individual can now afford a smart phone and nice clothes my healthcare costs are only going up. Who cares if you can buy "luxury" items for

A vile costs less than $1 per hit and a fraction of that price for someone "in the family". You can only move so much though since it's not a habit. Several factors favor a small source of distributors. Ergot is dangerous to work with, it

Most American LSD is distributed through the "Rainbow Family" distribution network. Basically the same people you see on the streets of San Francisco. It's a stretch calling these people a gang. It has zero connection to drugs like heroi

Every psychedelic I've taken has had an upper-bound beyond which increasing dose didn't really do much. Granted I've never taken astronomical doses of LSD but a "heroic dose" of psilocybin will take you places a "heroic dose" of LSD can't.

Fact of the matter is set of mind and setting play a pivotal role in the surface content of a trip. You're deluding yourself if you think people don't often walk away with hand-wavey interpretations of their experience. My point is there

That ~40,000 men kill themselves in U.S is not a molehill. That men are statistically more likely to get a much harsher prison sentence and are filling up the prison-industrial complex in record numbers is not a molehill. That men are on-
