I find comments like this irritating.

If someone wants to say "I dropped acid and it helped me," fine. People are allowed to share personal experiences, though it's a mistake to universalize them.

But this "oh you didn't meditate enough" or whatever is such nonsense. It's a claim about these drugs and how they work that you have no grounds to make.

It also ignores the potential negative side effects of meditation. It's not without its own risks.

What are the side effects? Isn't meditation just observing one's own thoughts? Metathinking if you will?

I had never heard of anything either so I googled it and there’s quite a bit out there. Meditation induced psychosis seems to be a particularly bad outcome.
