By deploying psychedelics sensibly, not for jaunts of recreational escape but for mindful meditations, more and more people would come to appreciate the treasure of life here and now, in a time and place of war or not -- and know, as William Blake observed, that such "gratitude is heaven itself." Humanity's failure to exploit such opportunities for life's gratuitous graces will only prolong the condition of war.
