LSD is actually really good, OP. In the end, there is something very peculiar about the existence of drugs. Yes, they are found in both nature and the labs invented by conscious organisms. But there are so many varieties, yet they so specifically cater towards consciousnesses and proliferate in popularity.

Could drugs (as a whole, or even for the sake of relevance- just psychedelic hallucinogens) be a newer (new to us) highly advanced form of life that has been sitting right under our noses, existing as structured molecules with a disparate awareness contingent upon psychoactive interactions with animate conscious organisms in order to reproduce complexly over time using time?
