| Ah, but the good news is, science is increasingly stepping up and (nervously, tentatively) proposing what everyone from Tim Leary to Terence McKenna, ancient shamans to all those old dudes at Burning Man have known since the dawn of man putting weird plants into his body and chatting with God for three days straight: That these fascinating, mysterious compounds are all kinds of miraculous, and really do re-wire the brain – and the heart, and the soul – in ways that might hold a key to not merely healing a few dire ailments (that’s obvious) but could actual transform our way of being in a violent, dying world. Of course, researchers can’t actually say that. The rigid confines of science dictate that, in order to ensure continued funding from the anxious governments of the world – most of which are eternally terrified that citizens might begin to question the cruel, institutional reality they’ve been force fed for millennia – researchers must focus on how these “dangerous” Schedule I compounds can be used to treat, say, mental illness, or PTSD, or depression. Which of course they do, and quite successfully. But there’s so much more to it than that.
