Drugs for mental/spiritual exploration

[FS]

I don't know if I should be replying, since the only actual experience I've had with drugs is alcohol and weed (eaten, not smoked), but having a very scientific view of the world around me, I don't believe there's much spiritual knowledge to be gained from using them.

Whether it might teach you something about the person you are (mental exploration), I wouldn't dare to guess. I've tossed around the idea of trying out mushrooms, though my sister (who has used them) thinks it might be too hefty for me. The main reason why I'd consider trying any kind of hallucinogenics is because I think it could be incredibly inspirational to whatever artistic branch you're into. On the other hand, I've been holding it off cause I think it could be incredibly scary as well, particularly to someone who's still capable of making up things to scare him in the dark at age 20 :P
