It's just a different kind of experience. Psychedelics gave me this particular one. But plenty of other things, like having eyes or skydiving, give you a different experience too. You get a pretty accurate idea of what skydiving is like if you bungee jump, but nothing really compares to psychedelics so it's very difficult to explain, like explaining a rainbow to a blind person. Because no experience is really similar, words feel especially inadequate.

It doesn't make me better than anyone else because I took some shrooms. I'm not sure what you're arguing with me about.

I am arguing about the constant use of the word "enlightening" in relation with drug use. People don't call skydiving or bungee jumps "enlightening".

Ok, well, I choose to use that word. Given the actual dictionary definition of the word, I'm okay with using it.
