Arguably, the religious use of hallucinogenic drugs stems from a human search of metaphysical insight rather than from a direct need for cognitive, emotional, social, physical, or sexual improvement. Therefore, the sacramental and spiritual intake of hallucinogenic drugs goes so far beyond other biopsychosocial functions that it deserves its own category in the drug instrumentalization list.
可以说,致幻剂的宗教用途源于人类对形而上学洞察力的追求,而不是直接需要认知、情感、社会、身体或性方面的改善。因此,致幻剂的祭祀和精神摄入远远超出了其他生物心理社会功能,值得在药物工具化清单中单独列出一类。
