An example: you take lsd, then realize you are the son of God. This
change your life
and you are very very happy.
Can i call this a delusion? I admit this is a  mystical/life changing
experience, too,
but what i am saying you are delusional and you have understood nothing
at all.
Or look at the experience of xy , he really changed his life ( and,
sure, it was not the only one in western world..)
But the same goal could be achieved with mj, with a trip to Rocky
Mountains or what you want. With lsd you go too far, I think that
usually you get just a psicotic experience,
with no relationship with real world.
Also with mj usually i go too far, but with mj sometimes i had got some
rough insight,
good to elaborate when sober

After an experience with mushrooms i thought to have understood the
meaning of universe.but then realize  it was just psicadelic bullshit.
I realize this in less then 2 months,but  i do not think this change
something.

The problem is if the effect are like for xy, or mistic bubbling.
