YES! (rightly or wrongly) the drug e and the drug lsd has brought me to such a mind state many many times
whereby I felt a loss of self~identity and a richness of perception and reality felt devine . I believe that these buddhist monks were visiting the same place through meditation.
It's similar, Charlie, but it's not the same thing.
Ahayuasca(sp?) and mescalin, peyote etc. too, drug experiences are just that, drug experiences.
Pleasant, insightful, mystical even, maybe similar, but not the same as Buddhist meditation. There is no quick fix to Nirvana.
