While your argument is compelling, how would you differentiate between the ritualistic use of psychedelics, which was deeply intertwined with the Aztecs' religious beliefs and practices, and the therapeutic use of these substances in a scientific context aimed at treating mental health disorders?

The Aztecs' use of psychedelics could indeed be considered a form of pharmakeia, a term used in the Bible to refer to sorcery or the use of drugs in religious rituals. However, would the therapeutic use of psychedelics, which involves controlled dosages administered under the supervision of healthcare professionals, fall under the same category?

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this matter.

Very peculiar carry on and completely at odds with anything I’ve personally experienced with psychedelics.
