TL;DR 10-year trial period privately funded w/ a new type of insurance and only two doses of psilocybin per year per adult available in protected spaces following psychiatric screening.
The enculturation problem, a book chapter by Thomas Metzinger from Philosophical Perspectives on Psychedelic Psychiatry. "It probably takes time. The damage was very, very great due to this careless application. . . . But I’m afraid that the same thing would happen again now, if LSD were used too quickly and carelessly again, outside the controlled framework. If it is used too quickly, something could be spoiled that could mature in the long run. . . . LSD is a very dangerous substance. It needs tremendously subtle application; you need a reverence for this deep effect. And one should quietly let the knowledge of the right application grow." - Albert Hofmann (1989)
