PLUS FOUR, n. (++++) A rare and precious transcendental state, which has been called a "peak experience," a "religious experience," "divine transformation," a "state of Samadhi" and many other names in other cultures. It is not connected to the +1, +2, and +3 of the measuring of a drug's intensity. It is a state of bliss, a participation mystique, a connectedness with both the interior and exterior universes, which has come about after the ingestion of a psychedelic drug, but which is not necessarily repeatable with a subsequent ingestion of that same drug. If a drug (or technique or process) were ever to be discovered which would consistently produce a plus four experience in all human beings, it is conceivable that it would signal the ultimate evolution, and perhaps the end, of the human experiment.
— Alexander Shulgin, PIHKAL, pages 963–965
If you have not known anything about Kundalini, it is impossible to feel it through LSD.
Samadhi comes from your unconscious longing. If you have longed for it then LSD will help you. LSD can be a help to anything unconscious, to be psychically realised, but it is not a spiritual revelation. What you have seen is something which you wanted to realize, projected on the psychic canvas, so it is not Samadhi and it is not genuine. It is neither; and it is nothing else than dreaming. It is just a dreaming phenomenon.
Meditation effects the same parts of the brain as magic mushrooms, according to current research.
Magic mushrooms are one of the most well loved and widely used substances in the psychedelic pantheon, and have been for quite some time. But we’re still discovering the effects of psilocybin (the psychoactive compound in magic mushrooms) on the brain—which, it turns out, remarkably resemble the effects of meditation.
One thing this does not mean, however, is that magic mushrooms are a replacement for meditation. The experience, knowledge, and insight gained from years of dedicated meditation practice cannot be circumvented with a quick fix.
Ask yourself...if drugs could awaken anything, wouldn't we have a completely awakened world by now?
Awakening is not a permanent state by any means, but something you DO and have to keep doing: a mountain to a plateau and then assimilation with everyday-life, to another mountain, another plateau and another assimilation...in other words the work never ends, only there's a great deal of joy for the work and happiness to see each and every mountain. With drugs, there's only one mountain, one valley and no plateau, no assimilation. You just go up and down, up and down, and that's all.

Unlike Alcohol which contract consciousness, psychedelic drugs expands our consciousness. But there is a great difference when we raise it by Drugs and yoga. In yoga we prepare our nerves for handling the rush of huge energy. We strengthen our nerves by sending the energy little by little day by day. In Meditation we use our own will power to raise the energy. But when we take drugs The huge energy rushes through the unprepared nerves. If this goes on everyday the nerves get depressed and damaged. And also when we take drugs it is the drugs that take control. We become slaves of the chemical. This suppresses our will power which is the main strength we must have to progress in our spiritual path. So those who takes drugs so frequently wont be able to progress spiritually. There is no spiritual progress without Strong nerves and will power.
