Okay, look, I smoke a lot of weed and eat the occasional shroom, and I know that a lot of people attach labels of 'mystical' and 'spiritual' to the resulting experiences, but it's really just a fun and interesting way to remix your neurochemistry for a few hours. Meditation and other such exercises is basically doing the same thing in a less radical fashion. Some people need it to be more than that, the way some people apparently cannot function without the belief that the vast machinery of the universe has a conscious operator.
I mean, if that's what you're into, whatever. It's harmless. But, it's still making more out of something than is actually in it.
