Set and setting (Sitting?) then can be accomplished by Zen practice Buddhist style without any drug necessary.

Further, your comment sounds to me like this: If bitcoin would be so great, hyperbitcoinization should have happened already in the last 15 years. LSD was banned within 20 years after discovery afaik. It was put on the list for Schedule I drugs (no medical use).

Yeah, the internet makes it hard to 'hear'. The truth about both things is that there is something slightly wrong with both models in the sense of "mass adoption". An exploration of why that is may or may not yield common causes.

Not sure if i follow.. What i meant is you are rigth, you can reach the same state by meditating but you need years of training compared with one hour of wait regarding LSA/LSD/Psilocybin..

I'd argue you need years of training to understand what LSD has shown in such a short time. Blowing the gate open wide without preparing the foundation is dangerous.

LSD time span is very small, Humans have been using the original recipe for thousand of years, What Hofmann discovered was just the semi-sintetic orange juice. We have been drinking juice from the fruit ages ago.. LSD by itself have achieved nothing, And i totally agree you must learn to drive before getting alone in the car.. A car can kill you, LSD can indeed put you on dangerous situations.. We used to teach kids to trip, nowadays that is lost.
