Maybe.
Possibly.
It all depends on what you got out of it, of course. Meditating releases certain chemicals in our brain an throughout our body... running does too... eating does too... everything does... drugs just push out certain things faster, and better, and crazier... heh. I'm just saying: whatever leads to an experience you might qualify as mystical or spiritual, is -- if you think it is -- mystical and spiritual, regardless of how you get there. There is no one pure way to get to something, since everything you think and do and put in your body and do to your body is going to lead you to something ("what goes in must come out"). You know?
edit: Okay, having read the thread, Inhuman already hit upon some of my points. Well, anyway. To speak about my spirituality... I personally know from my chemical inductions that I've seen angels chop my head off and God is a talking pitbull statue, and the spirit world sounds a lot like Photek. I actually feel like the few times I've really even thought about or CONSIDERED spirituality is while on drugs. I wonder what that means. Perhaps... the idea of "is God real?" is too complex of an idea for our little brains to unerstand to begin with, and squeegeeing my third eye is the only way I can even begin to approach such an insane idea. "CHEMICALLY INDUCED ENLIGHTENMENT"? I do know after the first time I tripped I felt like I was on a higher spiritual plane for a while too. Not so much now. I dunno. Gimme some acid and lemme meditate about it while naked and jamming some TOOL and I'll get back to you.
