Yes, I understand. I may have not expressed my self properly. The point I was trying to make is when in this 'altered' state, you truly do believe that you are in a new world even if you aren't, with the same belief I have right now that I am living my life in this world. Do you understand what I am trying to get at?

I am not saying that the drug transports yourself to a whole new world. I am trying to say it causes your brain to understand in a new way, and this new way creates a 'new world', which doesn't follow the same rules and laws Physics as in the 'real' world. Both 'worlds' are as life like as each other, your brain is the same, the only difference is the way your brain processes information.
