The typical gatekeeping through Appeal-To-Nature fallacy. I've heard some mystics speak about psychedelics. It sounds like what some gurus use to say about people like Krishnamurti who were profoundly influenced by their deep study of philosophy. Their arguments are moot because, although they have indeed invested a lot of time in their own practice to reach alternate states of consciousness, they often have very little experience with psychedelics. Actually, scratch that. We all have so little experience and so much to learn still about them. I'd agree that to reap the most benefits from a transcendental experience, whether through psychedelics, meditation, breathwork or other, you should also invest in nurturing yourself spiritually and philosophically. However, when I pin your argument downplaying the importance of psychedelics, against the results obtained in psychiatry, in end-of-life care, and even in spiritual awakening for the layperson, I don't think it holds. But that's my opinion.
