Compare how many important insights that changed the world were obtained on psychedelics to how many were obtained not on psychedelics.
Psychedelics most likely simply trick the brain into thinking things are insightful, while dulling one's sense of reason and accuracy, making such insights fade once reason and accuracy return.
