Try this mental exercise: Consider how you might look forward to your day as a “research subject” under the influence of a “psychotomimetic agent.” Then reconsider: How would you feel about your role as a “celebrant” in a “ceremony” involving an “entheogenic sacrament”? How would these different contexts affect your interpretation of the hallucinations and intense mood swings brought on by the drug? Would you be “going crazy” or having an “enlightenment experience”?
