Although it is refreshing to read a more balanced article on psychedelics, we must be cautious about accepting the paternalistic notion that the clinical setting is always the most appropriate.
Set and setting one's mindset and the physical and social environment are hugely influential on the psychedelic experience, and for some marginalized communities, the medical establishment may be associated with difficult experiences.
