>They can give people profound religious experiences. Some people become an unsettling kind of prophet for a religion of the drug.

Like 0.01%?

For every McKenna, Timophy Leary, etc, there were millions doing LSD in the 60s.

And the "prophets" were mostly a fashion of the era too.

When that died, in the 80s, and 90s and so on, you still had LSD, and shrooms, and Ecstasy, and others, but no "prophets".
