The only person I can think of that described the psychedelic experience as much as possible was Terrence McKenna. What you have to realize is that such an experience is ineffable and can't be reduced to mere words. McKenna kind of described it, but not really. Each person's experience is different and subjective, yet at the same time having a common thread of being astonishing, earth shattering and cosmic (well, at least, for the positive experiences).
Personally, being on mushrooms for me was a simple reminder that we are the Universe experiencing itself, and that it's a very vast place, and a reminder that we live in Infinity itself. On psilocybin, time has no meaning, it's just a construct of society.
One idea I've always had that if we are going to be a space-faring species exploring the Universe, then psilocybin would be a useful tool for doing that, similar to the Spice Melange in Dune. Psilocybin opens up the senses and personally (for me) doesn't impair my motor skills. I've always had the fantasy of exploring the galaxy whilst tripping.
