A Trippy Good Time or Spiritual Enlightenment

This was a very interesting read, but I don't know why we are reading this in class. Did we read this in hopes that some of us would feel comfortable sharing our experiences from previous trips or is it in order to put the idea of tripping into our heads? Will reading this article make someone think twice about not doing these entheogenics? Next time one of the students of this class is out at a party and someone is offering shrums, will they be more likely to want to experiences situations like the ones in this read? I think they might be! According to this read the benefits of a trip could last months. Why would they not want to be enlightened or at least a better chance of becoming enlightened.
