Interesting.
I can't quite seem to get a hand on whether Hallucinogens are the gateway to enlightenment, or the gateway to Hell.
Could be something more mundane, in-between.
Who fucking knows.
The morning after I took LSD, I remember looking in my pocket, and the more I looked into it, the more I could see little things moving down there, and the more I looked at them, the more I realised they were little shrimps looking at me, and the water and the rocks became apparent... At that point I decided to stop looking in my pocket
After all, the shrimps weren't menacing, and I had seen enough
I have never had the fortune to be enlightened enough to perceive Pocket-Shrimp.
The closest I ever came to achieving that was just having my hands come out of my pockets smelly fishy.
So you want to be enlightened?
Sucks to be you I guess...
Kidding
But yeah, your life sucks, you know your everyday routine isn't getting you anywhere, and it kills you inside a little more everyday, day after day, and you want a way out, a way to access a more fulfilling level of reality. But you have so little time outside that dumbass work of yours that you have to keep doing again and again and again to just make ends meet... That you thought that maybe there's one drug that would deliver that little click you need... To feel alive again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNc9phYujWY
Both. It just depends where your head is at before you trip. I've been down every hallucinogenic hole I could get myself into. Most were amazing some were freighting. My personal relationship with my creator began while I was tripping. No regerts.
Both....depending on many variables. Strength and quality of the substance. Set and Setting. Your inner landscape. How meticulous you plan, and whether or not luck is with you. If you do everything right...gateway to enlightenment. A couple mistakes and gateway to Hell. Interesting enough, sometimes you learn as much from the latter, if you maintain some semblance of control.
They are a gateway for sure. But you have to want to go through. Party people take them to see the fun stuff that appears as well as the door. If you take a small dose, with the intention of self discovery, and the willingness to see stuff that isn't there, the experience is different than taking drugs to get high.
Rule#1
Expect nothing just let it happen
Oh it can go either way. Think "Jacob's Ladder" or what I can only describe as heaven.
It probably depends, like just about everything else in life, on the user?
