== 2012 on Drugs == 

 One of the dimensions that was missing in this article was reference to the pervasive influence of psychedelics on key contributors to the 2012 mythology.  Arguelles, the McKennas, Jenkins, Pinchbeck, and others have written quite a bit about either their own or the ancient Maya's tripping (or both) on substances like [LSD]], DMT, psychedelic mushrooms, psychoactive toads, [[[ayahuasca]], etc., etc.  The media hasn't yet picked up on this angle, which has been present since birth of the meme.  I've gone through and added what I think are helpful references and hyperlinks. If you feel it's necessary to provide specific quotations, page numbers, etc., I can go back and do that.  If it seems that whoever thought up the 2012 mythology (in our own culture, at least) was on drugs, it's because they were!
