从与迷幻治疗师和研究人员一起进行的人种学研究中，本文探索了迷幻治疗中两个功效来源：自我和化学物质之间的政治紧张关系。有时，研究人员和治疗师强调化学效应与特定诊断的神经生物学相关的特异性。而在其他时候，他们把自我视为与同样的生物化学无关的体验的真正来源。人类学家长期以来一直强调，功效是一个历史上和社会上根深蒂固的范畴和实践。鉴于最近将化学物质理论化为由其实验背景塑造的物质符号结构，这些对话具有新的价态。本文认为，尽管包含在这两种有效性中的经验主义主张能够而且确实相互包含，但在各自所设想的有效目的之间仍然存在根本的政治紧张关系。随着临床试验将这些药物开发为治疗剂，它们通过将化学物质的特定效果与特定的诊断人群联系起来，这可能会使这些化学物质获得权利，但不是所有的疗效。
Drawing from ethnographic research with psychedelic therapists and researchers, this article explores political tensions between two sources of efficacy within psychedelic therapy: the self and the chemical. At times researchers and therapists emphasize the specificity of chemical effects in relationship to the neurobiology of particular diagnoses. And at other times they foreground the self as the true source of an experience which is not tied to that same biochemistry. Anthropologists have long emphasized that efficacy is a historically and socially embedded category and practice. Those conversations have new valence in light of recent theorization of the chemicals as material-semiotic structures shaped by their experimental contexts. This article argues that while the empirical claims embedded in these two efficacies can and do mutually include each other, a fundamental political tension remains between the efficacious ends envisioned by each. As clinical trials develop these drugs as therapeutic agents, they do so through linking the specific effects of the chemical to particular diagnostic populations, which may enfranchise these chemicals, but not all their efficacies.
