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?

Though there are millions of people who will attest to mystical experiences interwoven with drug use, I have never personally heard of anyone show a practical use for drugs in magic.

The LBRP isn't a more effective banishing when stoned. Your "spell to ruin an enemy" will not be stronger because you smoked crack. There are all manner of interesting visions and beautiful insights to be gained from drugs, but they just don't help if you're interesting in doing something practical.

I have very often seen people pass off a useless drug habit with occultism as an excuse. I think this is just playing around, and can't think of many other activities where drugs make your work more effective. If these people put half the effort they put toward "mastery of drug consciousness" toward mastery of ordinary consciousness, we would likely see a lot more magicians in the world.
