Ok here's my view....drug use does not create a "higher state of mind" it simply enhances SOME senses while dampening others as well as eliminating the ability to judge clearly. In retrospect of personal experience, I have found that some hallucinogens have given me material for thought as well as some humorous stories to tell. In the long run, however, I think that most drug induced experiences simply aren't worth the price physically or mentally. I suppose limited use over a long period of time wouldn't be so bad.
