"Today, a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration – that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There's no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we're the imagination of ourselves."
Seems to me the problem with this kind of drug induced so called wisdom is that it's no more profound than what any teenager with a hint of imagination could think of when looking up at a starry sky at night. What's different is the way it feels, but those feelings are created by your brain on drugs and not from being part of the cosmos or whatever (which we are 24/7 anyways) .. Drugs can make thoughts like this feel more profound, but that's it.

I believe in the usefulness of drugs for exploring past memories and so. That's a better path to drug-induced wisdom, I think.
