Lady Gaga possesses creativity?
On a more serious note, it couldn't be near that overt or it'd be instantly shut down. Thus is the paradox of using the propaganda machine to dispel propaganda. You'd have to be incredibly subtle, and even then I doubt it'd be more than a soundbyte.
Sadly, I doubt that we can depend on the mainstream media to knowingly disseminate any consciousness-opening knowledge, psychotropic or not. This movement is pretty intrinsically underground.

Of course she is creative whether you like her style or not. Being a broke and obscure artist merely says one doesn't have the stones to go big time or know how to reach their audience. Nothing laudable about being small-time.

I'll admit, she's more creative than most in the pop scene, but as a musician, I hope you know there is such a thing as a formula for a hit song. Like, literally, a formula with chord progressions and all.

True, but I'm just saying that, AFAIK, there is no "of course" about her being creative, because she likely isn't. Many pop musicians are not involved with the creative process, like all them boy-bands back in the day for instance.

I think of a pop star as a collective organism. "She is creative" = a group of people being creative.
Question, which would cause more people to try a drug? Lady Gaga says try it, it's great. Big name politician says don't try it, it's evil.

Obviously Lady Gaga, or else the majority of people would be using drugs right now. 
If she can convince her fans to listen to her music, then fuck, there's no limit to what she can convince them to do. And AFAIK, she has a shitload of fans, worldwide.

You're missing the point. Some creative person is putting on The Lady Gaga Show. Could that same creative person put on the Acid is Awesome Show with the same popular results?

here is my theory:
lets say MTV Real world, TRL, and Jersey Shore and all that stuff starts promoting psychedelics...
it wouldn't necessarily make the impact you would want it to. Don't forget how HUGE of an influence other people are, and how much the way your attention is directed during a trip influences the depth of experience you have.
can you imagine some MTV idol being on acid? Would it shatter their idea of what is important to them? (their cribs, pimped rides, etc?)
I guess its possible, but ya know, TV often makes references to weed and lsd
even people who seem to support it
comedians make jokes about how weed gives you the munchies and makes you do dumb things
so that's how weed is perceived by the common ground
LSD makes you see flying elephants and turn into orange juice
so the use of it is promoted or at least mentioned a lot in the mainstream,
but exploring what it can really do for you is not
the general idea seems to be that whatever you experience on it should not be taken seriously because you were just 
that's the reason I don't like most "stoner" rock. I think that name is inaccurate. I feel like surely, if they were getting REALLY high, they'd be a little more creative and hypnotic
country songs talk about smoking the funny stuff but then go on to sing about very ego-based, self-reflective tings such as i hope my ex-wife comes back to me. Very profound
the 60s were different. "Consciousness expansion" was the idea presented to the masses. Today it would be just "that funny stuff" or whatever
but the reason I tried psychedelics to begin with was the music I heard. I had to figure out where such deep lyrics came from and such, and I think THAT made psychedelics have a much deeper impact on me than they would most people. Or maybe its just my chemistry or personality.
either way, what you are presented with in life makes a big difference in how you perceive the experience. If you are alone, or around the right people, it could be profound. But it could also be terrifying, maddening, or just a fun drug and not much more. What about christians? they could see it as either the voice of god or possession by the devil
I think more important than promoting the use of drugs is simply promoting something profound. Lady Gaga might promote LSD, but in that world, Lady Gaga is music. She's alright I guess, if you're into that sort of thing, but I don't think her music would be quite paradigm-shifting.
you might take a psychedelic and realize how stupid the stuff on MTV is...but if you were into all that stuff, and everybody on MTV also took psychedelics, then you might trick yourself into thinking that these other people on psychedelics also know whats going on and having ballin' cribs and pimp rides is part of the psychedelic lifestyle.
long story short: everybody is going to react differently, and it's really not going to destroy as many egos as one would hope. It already doesnt

I like to trip Timothy Leary style—by the pool with good mixed drinks and beautiful women on a sunny day. Expensive cigars filled with grade A weed, a wonderful sound system. Living like a high roller is awesome on psychedelics.

That's why it's called a paradigm shift. It happens so subtly that to all those involved they never even had a chance to alter the outcome, and have no choice but to participate. Think of a the media as a paradigm engine. Its too big, the company's are too massive and too involved to make conscious decisions about where to take 'society' because they too are influenced by their own machinations. If you try to run a paradigm to fast, it doesn't take because its change that people notice....sometimes it slips through, like rock and roll...rough around the edges but it made it into society. Other times the engine bogs down and kicks out a gear...like the 60's...bits float on, but the main them died fast and hard.
Current Paradigm (divided by) New Paradigm (Divided by) Time taken to change (equals) probability of success.
Therefore, the more subtle, the less time required, the grander, the larger time required. No single group, person, etc has power enough to change this. Hitler tried forcing his idea through...look what came of it. Eventually he met the grinding gears of the paradigm engine...and it crushed him.

Lady Gaga’s single “Born This Way” introduces the viewers to the birth of a “new race” and to a new world, using intricate imagery and a precise narrative. It is a psychedelic trip filled with occult and archetypal symbols, telling the story of a cosmic birth and new ideals. However, behind its outward message of acceptance, a more sinister message lies embedded in the symbolism of the video.

As others have said, I think psychedelics have already infiltrated the main stream media. Hell, just a week or two ago, Oprah's magazine did a cover story on MDMA psychotherapy. OPRAH. Does it get any more mainstream?
And I think this process of popularization will work better this time. It seems as if the current popularization of psychedelics has happened from the ground up, or, from the inside-out. I don't think a top-down approach with psychedelics will work. But if we as a psychedelic community can turn into valuable members of the larger community, then WE can get the word out from the inside. Just my
