My comment:
Excellent work! It seems the norm these days that BigMoney thinks itself wise enough to seize control of a scene and shove aside those who have long been the true experts... all the while propagandizing about how noble are their goals and intentions. It is inevitable, however, that the project will turn into an anti-Midas Touch scenario — all that they touch turns not into gold, but...buffalo chips. (Which, unlike gold, ARE edible...)
“Resilient Pharmaceuticals” <snort>
Psychedelics are not strictly pharmaceuticals in that their mode of action is completely indirect, and the features of a psychedelic experience are in an important sense NOT CAUSED by the psychedelic chemical but are VOLUNTARY, things that a person does rather than things that merely happen to him. The distinction may seem unimportant at first, but the failure to understand how psychedelics actually work removes the possibility of success for their use as currently conceived.
