"drug experiences are just that, drug experiences. "

Is that just spiritual snobbery though? It might be harder work to experience mystical things through meditation, dancing etc alone - but that doesn't mean to say people aren't experiencing something important about Reality or Other Worlds just because they use chemicals from plants (rather than ones they've concocted themselves). Surely?

Maybe when Bob from Swindon (or whatever) isn't having a mystical experience if he takes some ayahuasca he got from the local hippy shop. But when a member of an amazonian tribe takes some as part of a culturally approved and recognised ritual in the rainforest, and he's expecting to meet some ancestors and sort out a few points of importance - are you saying that's definitely just a 'drug experience'?
