Makes sense with Marx too I guess but Hillman, who has a doctorate in classics and a masters (I think) in one of the biosciences has been pushing for more awareness of the countless references to recreational and sacramental drug use in antiquity for over a decade now. He's not for everybody but he's read ancient Greek for over 3 decades and finds some pretty surprising accounts of it in neglected medical and other texts he continues to translate.
