why would that be wrong since everyone owned a piece. instead of having it owned by no-one, instead everyone could enjoy owning a part of it?

You don't need to own art to enjoy it. By destroying it you are preventing future generations from enjoying and experiencing the piece as the artist rendered it.

On a similar note, i have always thought that it was a disgusting idea to cut up the baseball bats and jerseys of HOF baseball players to produce 500 or 1000 relic baseball cards. I know it is more profitable for the baseball card companies to sell pieces of memorabilia inserted between two pieces of cardboard. But, there should be a law to protect such historic artifacts from being destroyed for profit like this. To quote Indiana Jones: "That belongs in a museum." Even if it is just the personal museum (mancave) of a private collector.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

“How can a three-pound mass of jelly that you can hold in your palm imagine angels, contemplate the meaning of infinity, and even question its own place in the cosmos? Especially awe inspiring is the fact that any single brain, including yours, is made up of atoms that were forged in the hearts of countless, far-flung stars billions of years ago. These particles drifted for eons and light-years until gravity and change brought them together here, now. These atoms now form a conglomerate- your brain- that can not only ponder the very stars that gave it birth but can also think about its own ability to think and wonder about its own ability to wonder. With the arrival of humans, it has been said, the universe has suddenly become conscious of itself. This, truly, is the greatest mystery of all.”
—Vilayanur Subramanian Ramachandran, neuroscientist
