It's like finding the keys to heaven
or hell
society is programmed to be consumption-driven, their ego is materialistic.
destroying that sense of identity and exposing it as illusion/farce is a frightening thing to many, something they're not willing to do.
besides, many so called straight-laced types see the psychedelic experience as drug-induced madness, and it carries a negative connotation with them.
If indeed it would be a drug-induced form of madness (a delerium), than you would expect it to be harmfull.
However, peyote and ayahuasca have both proven to have beneficial health effects.
How could anything that contributes to a good physical AND mental health, be a dangerous deleriant?
An improvement in mental health cannot coincide with a delerium. That's almost a complete contradiction.
