Hi Ben ~ touche. This is exactly what I write about for the larger psychedelia community. More specifically I am concerned about folks who are not just trying to create spiritual transformation but also those who are truly suffering with mental health conditions and seeking these types of substances to treat themselves. They may very well run into self-proclaimed guru types who exist in a self-pertuating cycle of delusion they keep alive themselves by regular use of psychedelics and psychoactive compounds. My first article published on Psymposia in the Science category warns about this: Precautions with Underground Psychedelic Therapy
My writings on Buddhism almost always also have a scientific bent to them as well so my readers are clear I am not following anything blindly and neither should they.
