Low doses of psychedelics can be really useful and fun (sprinkling some DMT between layers of flower in a bowl, for example). So can high doses. IMO if people are restricting themselves to only using low doses of psilocin and psilocybin, they're missing some powerful opportunities for spiritual growth. I fear that as capitalism coopts "microdosing" as a performance enhancer (which is not necessarily wrong in the sense that serotonergic stimulation can make a person faster and more confident, but is wrong in the sense that such an attitude towards these substances completely misses what their fungal factories coevolved to do to us), it will be come increasingly taboo to take spiritually overwhelming doses. This is important to me because I'd still be a liberal chode who constantly lies to themselves (and by extension all of their loved ones) in a way that makes consciously (to the extent that we even have "wills") seeking happiness and love effectively impossible. Furthermore, I don't believe I'm exaggerating when I say that overcoming the antidialectical nature of my own cognition would have required a near-death or otherwise spiritually powerful experience without psychedelic drugs.
Oh for sure. Sometimes you just wanna get drunk though and a couple caps hits the spot way better than alcohol for that.
I too have that cushmen acid marxism thing. I don't think the two are mutually exclusive but I hadn't thought about it honestly. I was talking to a a real conservative maoist about this in relation to china's drug policy and western people having no real ability to imagine a better world by defualt.

Okay ramble over.
