If you were ever going to think of far reaching ideas through drugs, the mushrooms might be at the top of your list btw.

The Spanish have a lot to answer for, Spanish Inquisition , The rape and pillaging of the Americares, introduction with violence of religion into the Americares, genocide of natives of the Americares
