Use Of Drugs For Magickal Purposes, questions Options

What are your opinions on it? Does the drug induced state help/hinder your grasp on magick, or both? I've thought about if it would alter your ability to grasp energy, yet at the same time, could it help you become more aware of the surroundings, or your self-conscious? So what are the opinions, or facts on this subject?

I constantly refer back to erowid.com for medical references and reports, correct dosages, side affects, ect. I only experiment with recreationally safe drugs to expand my mind, and my train of thought. The thing is though, I also like to sense the magickal aspect while induced with these drugs, and I rarely practice my magickall purposes while under the influence of them (marijuana being the only one i've tried). I took a certain over-the-counter drug (which I won't name, because I don't want to encourage the use of it) for my DXM trip, and I checked the active ingredients in it for other chemicals that were used, and it was only dextromorthopan, so I moderated my doses with a buddy, and sat around with two other good friends while under it. I am not very knowledgable on the concept of how drugs are being used for these purposes, but the roots of my questions have come from the history of Native Americans using peyote, marijuana, ect. to reach their "spirit world" and to see connections of how/and if it was being used for that purpose today.
