Well no, it is not. If you spot an UFO, chances are your "first-hand observation" is lying to you.

Or you might say that your seeing is good but your interpretation is bad. Or vice versa even. It ain't so clearly cut.

The problem with drug users is that they don't seem to be alarmed that others can't confirm the "profoundness" of their experiences from outside. They tend to discard the obvious explanation of their fascination: their own stupidity induced by drugs makes trivial things seem profound. E.g. the fact that the interpretation is broken.
