"Groundbreaking." They were doing experiments with psychedelics in mental health therapy in the Fifties, but the ever-increasing golem of the War on Drugs had all that research tossed in the garbage because "drugs are bad, m'kay?" Not *ALL* drugs, mind you, just the ones that open your mind to new ways of thought and shine a light on your decision-making processes, for some reason the Elites of the Sixties and Seventies thought that those drugs were a bad idea but the ones that just get you fucked up were a great idea and super therapeutic. That's why today almost everybody is on some kind of Uppers or Downers or Tranquilizers. Because those sort of put a band-aid on a mental health problem, but where's the money in actually curing the sick when you can perpetually bandage them instead?
