Yeah normal consciousness is normal, of course. That's not an assumption that I make, that just a basic fact.

I have not been there or done that, but just a normal exposure to popular culture and the history of the 20th century led me to the same conclusion.

Pretty obvious that it's not good for your brain to make it malfunction.

And what are those actual life changing amazing positive changes that happen? Sounds just like weed smokers who convince you they have all these amazing ideas which they somehow can never write down and keep for later. Maybe it's just the drug that makes you feel like something pretty mundane is life changing because you have just traumatised your brain

Yeah I've never understood why people say that hallucinations are real, and even "more real" and the "actual reality". The very definition of a hallucination is that it's not real, it's false. What am I missing here?
