Good post, godwide.
I assume you're a fan of Terrence McKenna? He's good, and has done a lot of good in expounding the positive uses of psychedelics. My own mentor in this field, being a little older, was Tim Leary who taught the Sixties generation the proper uses of sacraments.
I agree with you that these substances have had a profound impact on human consciousness throughout the ages. I would add, however, that without the spiritual disciplines developed by various saints and sages, the sacraments would not have been nearly as effective in raising the consciousness of the race as a whole. There are times when a spiritual context is required for higher learning, such as yoga, tai chi, etc.
