Psychedelic therapy has significantly helped me with my PTSD. What you're talking about is self medication. Your friends are trying to find something they need. The problem isn't the drugs, it's the lack of support. It's not like they were fine and suddenly got swallowed by drugs. Anyone doing a bunch of drugs of any kind has problems that they need help with.
I'm glad to hear that worked for you. I don't know that I agree with everything you've said, but what You've said seems to have a logic basis. I do wish I'd been more mature and put together enough on my own end to help my buddies out back in the day.
But all of that aside and looping back the the original post, I do think the line "do peyote" implies a more recreational (as opposed to clinical) application of the drugs.
I think that there's some missing context that peyote is generally ceremonial with a long history of being part of indigenous religious traditions.
I did psychedelics recreationally once and it was one of the worst experiences of my life, but I think it made be a better person. But generally, I strongly disagree with recreational use of psychedelics. It's extremely dangerous to experiment with psychedelics without an understanding of what one is going in to. I don't think that clinical is the only other option here. There are a lot of places inbetween. But yeah, anyone talking about recreationally going out to do peyote without a whole lot of mental preparation and support is playing with something pretty powerful and probably won't have fun.
