I'd be inclined to say it couldn't be invented *at all* in most settings. It seems to be built around allowing you to tap external information storage (which wouldn't exist in most settings) by changing your brain chemistry. In most settings where a supernatural information resource like that did exist, I'd expect using it to involve spiritual exercises (or maybe physical rewiring of your brain, for cyberpunk versions) not a drug.

Though honestly anything that radically alters something about you and somehow instantly lets you use it properly, as opposed to requiring months of therapy and training to adjust, is pretty implausible.
