You may be right pineninja, but I don't think he's going to be the right guy to get the message across.
If he did this all purely to make a statement about the ridiculous state of hallucinogenics prosecution, then maybe.
But if you consider that he blatantly went out of his way to go there and knowingly broke the law, in spite of being responsible for his wife's health at the cost of no longer being able to now help her - that looks reckless.

Like Cookie said, he's the kinda guy who probably can't keep his mouth shut.

As soon as he starts saying stuff like, "...then again they also follow us around everywhere we go. They want to be with us, and they want to teach us", the same people who already hate and fear psychedelics are going to get further inflamed. The people who don't care, still won't care and will probably just label him a hippie.

People just don't know that it's worth defending if they never try it. Otherwise, what benefit does the average joe think mushrooms have? There's some positive research getting light at the moment that psychedelics can be useful for combating addiction to drugs that are actually dangerous and has helped some people with depression and anxiety. Unfortunately there's a whole lot more negative media about psychedelics causing erratic behavior, bad trips, psychosis and disruptive thinking like “I no longer felt comfortable in this society, the United States, or really any society,”.

In the government's eyes that's a very bad thing. He's happy to subsist? That's not economically productive.

Psychedelics have the same bad wrap that weed had once and while weed has had a massive following, mushrooms do not.... yet.

Damn hippies! Cut your hair!

I thought it was all about the drugs - but I really dont think we had true hippies in Aus. Given that everyone was pretty racist in the 60s and 70s (Aboriginals were only just given the right to vote in 1962...) I think it would be hard to tease away what level of racism is exclusive to hippies versus the baseline level of racism at the time.

But anyway, god damn this is getting heated!
