Enhancement is a matter of opinion. One man's enhancement could be another man's dehancement. So this is an unreliable metric. We cannot truly know which reality is more actual. The reality experienced while sober and the reality experienced while high. Whether one reality is enhanced is again a matter of opinion.
The key metric here to recognize is consistency. You give a thousand people psychedelics how consistent are there observations? Does every man describe the same thing? In addition how clear and exact are their observations?
Science and logic described by normal sober people is more consistent and more exact then the reality described by people on psychedelics. People who are sober generally agree on the basic principles of logic and mathematics. Consistent consensus is the diffentiating factor.
Additionally which drug better enhances the mind? Cocaine? Heroin? Bleach? Whose to say one experience under one drug is more enhanced than the other? This world described by drugs is cloudy and inconsistent not only among individuals but also across your drug of choice. So you not only have different descriptions of reality from different people, but different descriptions when they use a different drug. Which reality do I trust?
Trust in the consistent description of reality. It's the best bet in my opinion. But of course this also a personal choice.
