English term or phrase: to come to little
That the psychedelic experience should seem, in the end, to have come to very little is I feel quite important. It echoes the CIA's failure to find a use for it and also the feeling that I had after collating the proving.

keine Bedeutung haben? nichts weiter (oder sehr wenig) bewirken?

Wer kann helfen?
Danke!
