Writing for Psyche magazine in an article titled Psychedelics are philosophical tools for demolishing assumptions professor David J. Blacker makes a case in favour of psychedelic substances like LSD or psilocybin as conduits to wisdom. I refer, of course, to the ‘classic psychedelics’, the most influential psychedelic compounds of the past century or so: most notably, LSD, psilocybin (mushrooms), mescaline and the different forms of DMT, such as ayahuasca. The professor spends a lot of words trying to draw tenuous parallels between some of the ancient Greek philosophers and the potential of psychedelics, yet forgets to mention perhaps the most important lesson for individuals that we have in the Greek culture at-large: virtue.
