(Standard procedure for dealing with a mind-affecting drug that claims to produce useful insights is to write down the insights, and see how much sense they still make after the drug wears off.

While that's going on, you don't let people who aren't Keeper-trained and Keeper-oathbound talk to you.  You especially don't talk to people you don't trust an awful lot.  You double-especially don't talk to whoever talked you into using the drug or maybe subtly guided you down a path that ended with that decision.  There are known drugs that seem to have an effect of permanently relaxing your priors about whatever somebody says to you while you're on drugs, which in dath ilani terms is something like a date rape of the soul.  Keltham has had drugs that mimic the more innocuous effects that go along with those, and Owl's Wisdom is absolutely nothing like them, but still.

All of this is, in any case, advice you'd only need in the first place if you went to a Shop of Ill-Advised Consumer Goods - or if a criminal dosed you.

Dath ilan does not recognize any uses of lysergic acid diethylamide, dimethyltryptamine, or psilocybin, within the mainstream of Well-Advised Consumer Goods.  They don't do anything reliably useful that can't be done by a high-ranking Keeper just talking to you.)
