To be honest, while I do indeed agree with all of that, I just never wanted a layer of something between me and what I enjoy or want to appreciate. I have never needed that heightened sense that many claim ... perhaps they have barriers that a drug can break down ... who knows ... and who knows what life has dished up to them, either nature or nurture wise, that might make that seem necessary.
While my life has not been perfect, I am grateful I have not experienced first hand, what some, maybe many, have had to endure.
In any case, anyone who has been lost in a good book until the wee hours, knows something of being over-tired and somewhat delirious. It can be a bit like being drunk, maybe even stoned .... I've certainly had the giggles on occasion ... that's enough for me, to not deliberately inflict that on myself, by imbibing something.
And really, it is surprising what can be achieved by some form of meditation or even a good night's sleep ... just taking a break from the rat race, can do wonders. And I say that as a person, who has a propensity to perhaps over-think things at times. Slow and deep, that's me ... ha ha ha.
For better or worse, I just like things to feel real.
