I disagree. Psychedelics are catalysts to entering this state. It may be foolish to depend on psychedelics to achieve this state, but using psychedelics to enhance the spiritual experience is not foolish.
Yes I can amend my description. Perhaps "brave, but foolhardy" and ignorant should be in there somewhere because the user of drug agents for spiritual development is either lazy or ignorant of techniques that do not relinquish control, but develop mastery of oneself and the mind.

Drugs bind soul to body. Ever hear of some one getting electro-shocks to forget their drug induced depression? I know a few. When techniques and methods of gaining knowledge and control of oneself are available that lead beyond the drugged state, why take a chance on drugs?

The goal is to demonstrate, by experience, soul's freedom from the body before physical death.
