I don't agree, at least on principle. Especially when such drugs are included. Pretense tends to melt away into motivating force, which may or may not be the driving mechanism behind someone's behavior. With a strong enough psychedelic, even the densist dummy can begin to question why they do things.

Maybe, but I look at some people who come from affluence and they may use things regularly and still do not achieve transformation. It's mostly those kinds of people that I'm referring to.

Well just because they question why doesn't mean an affluent person will arrive at an answer more than, "because I can".
