Psychedelics are enjoyable, but they don't tend to give me any spiritual experiences, and I would be aware that anything spiritual I did feel would be no more real than the other effects of the drug.
Oh, and datura is a bad idea. It's got a very steep dose response curve and the concentration of scopolamine varies a great deal from plant to plant. Surviving a datura trip is as much a matter of luck as it is correct preparation. Very few people have a good time on deleriants such as scopolamine or dimenhydrinate anyway.

Also, there's something I've been wondering about spiritual drug use. Why is it that the people who indulge in it only ever tend to use botanical drugs and eschew synthetic chemical drugs? I put this down mainly to the wooly-headed spiritualist mindset assuming that natural = good and synthetic = bad, but I thought I'd ask.
