I came across a quote from Hacker News in this essay:
“…When I did 2 hits of acid, I had the exact opposite experience of seeing God. The fact that such a tiny amount of a mere chemical could effect my ‘soul’ so profoundly was proof positive that the soul is completely material. I already believed this intellectually, but this experience solidified this knowledge into my very being. So personally, I would recommended experimenting with a psychedelic or two for those who wish to study Philosophy.”

I disagree with the materialists because I view the brain as being similar to a radio receiver that tunes into consciousness that pervades the universe. If you take parts out of the radio it won't be able to tune in and similarly if you change it's operation with a chemical the brain will tune in a different way.
