Sorry for not being able to express all my thoughts in a proper way, since I'm Italian and it's so difficult to speak about "philosophy" even in our own language...

What we must consider is that the category "nature" is always being considerate as opposite to "man" concerning the classical philosophy.
So it means that everything that relates to man cannot be "natural" because it belongs to a different category.
It doesn't mean that man is unnatural... it's a kind of a mind trick. It's a way to looking at things giving a name, a class to which belong...
In this way anything that is created by man is unnatural...
Consider this -> trees produce oxigen: natural process
-> man produces oxigen: unnatural process
oxigen is neither natural or unnatural... it simply exists.
LSD doesn't exist in natural form... you must produce it. So it's unnatural.
Psilocybin exists in natural form in mushrooms.
LSD isn't better than Psilo... nor the opposite.
Natural isn't better than unnatural... they must live together in armony.
Man needs to live in armony with nature.
It doesn't imply that he can't manipulate it.
Only that he should know honestly the reason to do it.
And then do it for the good of mankind.

Thank you for your patience,

Love,

Andrash
