I believe this has something to do with peoples egos. When you have something that's difficult to get your hands on it makes you feel more special than the average person. For a example ayahuasca is viewed as the most healing of all psychedelics but in reality its no more healing than shrooms . Anyone can grow shrooms at home so it doesn't give you that special feeling. When 5meo was widely available I don't remember anyone even talking about it. Now that they cracked down on 5meo and because of it being more difficult to extract it makes people that own it feel special . I could be wrong lol
