Should do it far before then. You're smart enough to do the google search required to disprove any fear-mongering around psychedelics.

I have often struggled with the apparent contradiction of how these spiritual lessons can be so profoundly beneficial for millions of people while at the same time be so profoundly damaging for a few.
The nature of self is such that what you identify as the individual is not. There are periods of transition in which the transformation of self can lead to confusion.

(1) Buying things online / transferring money rapidly for little to no cost. Micropayments to support things I like.
(2) It's going to replace fiat currency and do away with the need for central banks. Advancements in decentralized and distributed technologies will allow that most other government functions to be replaced as well. This is not as revolutionary as it sounds - it is simply the encoding and uploading of the current paper & people based system onto a superior operating system, one which is written explicitly in code, lives nowhere and everywhere at once, and gives people the power to directly and democratically engage with their world.
(3) The historical need for regulators is one born of technical limitations. People needed to be protected from complex systems and those who would exploit them. Those technical limitations do not exist anymore and the regulations can now exist in code, be completely transparent, vetted by the community, and do away with the need for "regulator" as a job for humans. The community can now democratically, openly, and transparently take care of its own regulation in a superior and more cost-effective fashion.
