I mean I've known people who took LSD and instead of a fun trippy experience they had a really bad time. Totally shook them up. In the long run it was good for them, spooked them enough to stay away from drugs permanently and, ultimately, turn their life around. Meditation, like LSD, is only going to get you to a place -- what you find there is on you. If you blot out all distractions and look deep inside yourself... you may not like what you see. If you get someone with deep seated, repressed anxiety and make them bring it to the fore via meditation it's not going to make them less anxious, it's just going to make it more noticeable.
