> if you are taking shortcuts with life you just fooling yourself. Psychedelics got me started meditating. I see value in both.

  Same with Ram Dass, and probably many others. It's a hardcore way for one to see that there actually is "something else", otherwise whole thing sounds phony. Though psychedelics can only give a glimpse, the effect inevitably wears off creating an addiction.

    > the effect inevitably wears off creating an addiction. Quite the opposite in my experience. The effect wears off, but it doesn't create an addiction.

      By addiction here I don't mean strong physical addiction, rather understanding that ability to have great experience depends on something external.
