A Dying Society Brought Back to Life A pressing issue we have in society right now is the huge number of people, in particular men, who have lost their way, and we include those engaged in violence and oppression. The main elements here are that (1) these people have problems giving and receiving love, and (2) they have no healthy and regular supply of incoming love. Such elements may be resolved in the following way: (1) One of the effects of proper entheogen use is an increased capacity for love and empathy. As mentioned before, introducing them* into our medical system may counter this, often within one session and with a small dose**. There may be some difficulty in encouraging people to enroll in such a program, which could be resolved in the following point. (2) The fostering of a nationwide culture which respects and loves those willing to engage in such therapy, providing the necessary incoming love that these people need. This should in turn produce an outgoing flow from those having had treatment, creating a feedback loop of benefit for the whole of society. * Beginning with a small dose and working upwards until the desired effect is gained would be of benefit, instead of with a larger one as many studies have done. A microdose may even be a good starting point, and something in between a micro and small dose may be enough to open the user up to love. ** Natural etheogens, being those that grow from the earth, as opposed to lab-synthesised. A lot of the panic around entheogens inherited from the sixties and seventies revolved around LSD, which is lab-synthesised. LSD, when compared for example to psilocybin, is of a different character and has roughly twice the duration (between 7-12 hours; while psilocybin is about 4-6).
