What if psychedelics were spoken about openly?

Imagine a world where a high profile film, book series etc brought mass awareness to the uses of psychedelics.
Do you think that our contemporary world could conduct rational dialogue and research again in spite of some the hiccups that seemed to have happened in the 1960's? What if the world found out about ethno-cacti - would Bridgesii no longer be available on the net? Or do you suppose that the current scene is already spreading the message except at a more gradual pace?
Looking forward to the replies 
Edit: As more clarification, what if one were able to talk of their standpoint or experiences to e.g. one's grandparents or neighbors who live across the street? It is essentially an open topic of discussion in all walks of life.

You can already talk openly about it and people do talk about it. I'm not sure if it is a good idea to encourage people to try psychadelics. They aren't good for everyone

It wouldn't change anything. People will still believe what they wanna believe

There is already research being conducted and there has been for quite some time!
As far as the rest goes, think about how intelligent the average person is, then realize that half of them are even stupider than that. If psychedelics were re-introduced to the world on a mass scale through something like a high profile film or what have you, and the highly unlikely event occurred that all of a sudden everyone was running out the door to go and score some acid or something, it would be fairly concerning given that substances like these end up in the hands of ignorant and irresponsible people enough as it is. They'd probably get stomped down on even harder than they have been already because people are fucking dumb.
