Drugs…and their use in Magick. Is a very interesting topic, that I am thinking about experimenting again with after many years.
In my experience, drugs are like the Master tour of certain realms, you are guided sometimes allowed to explore a bit, but you need to take it as a tour. If you explore unguided, you do not have access to all your facilities, you are easy prey.
I have never successfully worked Magick while on drugs, beyond the expanded understanding and perceptions they can provide. I am not sure it would be wise for me to try to work anything while on drugs. But I have had teachings and experiences with them that where truly profound, not on the scale of religious, but still profound.
On the flip side, because of the Taboo with drugs. You are usually dealing with some pretty idiotic and unenlightened people when it comes to acquisition. As such it is probable that you will not get precisely what you are wanting to get.
A shared drug experience with Magickal practitioners, or magically aware people can be very rewarding.
The other biggie, is intent. Know why you are doing it, and if you are using it for anything other then your magickal path, or just as entertainment…really look at it, hell really look at it every time.
It can quickly become escapism, and living in that reality becomes more attractive then material plane realities very quickly for many.
