While I won't disagree with any of the valid observations presented by, dreamer042, my personal experience with the deeper states of entheogen induced "psychosis" informs me as to the absolutely feral nature of profound psychedelia.

Surely "authorized" research and liberalization of access to these catalysts is a net positive for those individuals inclined toward learning from the mystic state. The notion that "sanctioned" and "facilitated" sessions available through a state licensed "provider"(the vast majority of whom will never share the psychedelic induced ego shattering) smacks of an attempt at custodializing the screaming abyss. It can't be done.

Nick Sand speaks to this reality most elegantly: http://www.serendipity.li/dmt/sacred.pdf
