And just who is it that has to clean up that mess?

psychedelics seem to allow for a "deconditioned" mindstate -- in other words, one hour into a shroom trip, you simply are no longer holding yourself to the assumptions that usually guide your life
this can be taken to an extreme, ie, "who says i can't fly? that's just an assumption!" -- wheee, splat

but taken slightly less far, one can look at their own behavior and the behavior of others, and instead of sticking with basic assumptions like "profit motive is necessary for prosperity," you allow yourself to consider different points of view
so in that example, you say "well, that's what i've been assuming, but let's see if i can think of anything different" -- and the person is off into their own musings
whether or not they come to any valid conclusions is a matter of their individual intelligence, but psychedelics can definitely take you to that point of considering alternatives

and generally, once someone is considering alternatives to social patterning and personal behavior, they may become curious about where their assumptions originally came from
sometimes it comes from parents, sometimes it comes from early life experiences ... and sometimes it comes from propaganda

so i would say yes, psychedelics can play a significant role in helping people "see through" propaganda
but it is only as a result of their general properties -- there is no specific relationship between psychedelics and propaganda
