> Why do you think there is a lack of political will?
I'm going to go out on a limb and say because getting countries as diverse as the US, China and Saudi Arabia to consent to shutting down the industrialised world and people to accept not having nice things is incredibly difficult, and carbon capture solutions which might be more politically palatable are less proven plays a bigger role in the climate continuing to change than politicians not taking psychedelic drugs.
I see your point, and agree that getting high off mushrooms isn't going to solve the climate crisis. Most people aren't arguing that instead of continuing to pursue renewable energy we should just take mushrooms instead.
But I would argue that psychedelic use, when done appropriately and carefully, can be a catalyst for changing collective ideologies that have lead us to the dangerous path that we are on.
