No, it hasn't even started, and it's not a bubble.
There is so much potential in this and so much catching up to do. Many who are familiar with the relevant substances know this.
Our various corrupt systems (political, financial, "health" care, media, etc.) have deliberately prevented this type of therapy from exploding for a very, very long time. It will massively reduce the pharma industry's revenues, among other things.
The health care industry would be overjoyed to administer psychedelics to you for the rest of your life, and politicians and media will be happy to be paid to allow you to do it, to subsidize your doing it, and to convince you to do it.
Whatever bizarre conspiracy theory that would convince you of the opposite is evidence that there's already lots of money being spent.

And a whole lot of new risks to go with the potential. As the saying goes: it's important to keep an open mind, but not so much that your brains fall out.
Proper and wider research is important. Let's hope that these substances become more popular and available to be researched and tested, so that hopefully in 5-10 years we would know their risks and advantages. Then people could make educated decisions whether or not to try and use them.
"And a whole lot of new risks to go with the potential"
As long as alcohol is legal and easily available we shouldn't worry about psychedelics. I know plenty of people who have taken all kinds of psychedelics and seem OK. Psychedelics just don't seem very addictive for most people. I also know quite a few people who have been hurt by alcohol. They either hurt themselves or they hurt others while drunk.
Psychedelics are mostly illegal because Nixon didn’t like the hippies and federal agencies were looking for new budgets. It’s not as shameful as weed being illegal because the cops hired to enforce the prohibition needed new jobs and it mostly impacted poor communities and African American but it’s close.
