Hmm. Yes, I agree cognitive shifts could be pretty powerful from psychedelics and that IQ points probably won’t change. I think I misread you.
The larger part of my scepticism is my intuitive hunch that loads of people wont suddenly start taking psychedelics if they’re legal/decrimed. This isn’t a strongly informed judgement and I could probably change my mind if presented with compelling reasons.
On the worldview stuff, if the idea is something like “people take drugs and this changes how they think for the better”, which I actually think is pretty plausible, a particular challenge is that those who you, I expect, would most like to take such drugs, i.e. the very close-minded, are probably going to be the least likely to take them anyway.
