I think psychedelics hit the salience receptor (5HT2A) and so everything experienced on them feels artificially meaningful. It takes unpacking and skepticism to figure out which experiences actually hold merit and which are noise. "Enhanced meaningfulness" is a useful tool if that's what you're lacking in your life, but a dangerous one if you let it inflate every idea you have while impaired. This is why I like dissociatives more, they don't artificially inflate the sense of meaningfulness and don't tank your working memory so you can explore deeper and wider with more skepticism during the trip.
