Many have claimed enlightenment from drugs over time. I believe the drugs may have opened a new door onto reality for them, but that true enlightenment is a journey, not a single experience.

Tim Leary
Humphrey Osmond
Aldous Huxley
Abbie Hoffman
and many others . .

All saw/see LSD as a mind-opening pathway, a catalyst for enlightening experiences, and I believe they are right.

P.S. We are ignoring also millenia worth of shamans, medicine men, etc., who have used peyote/mushrooms/etc to experience 'visions' to help guide them on their life journey.
MajMike Reviewed by MajMike on . anyone else find it suspicious? that once upon a time spiritual pursuit was a serious matter. A lifelong commitment. People would spend years meditating or contemplating god. Spirituality was a seed within everyone that could slowly be nurtured to flower after years of not only study, but also practice and internal awareness. Now, anyone with an eighth of mushrooms and a fast internet connection can claim to be enlightened in a couple days. Rating: 5
