I occasionaly use some psychedelics for spiritual reasons. Recreationaly too ( they can be damn fun). What I get from them is an ability to evaluate myself and life outside the context of myself. LSD, especially, dissolves my ego and lets me look back at the events of my life objectively without bias, as if all those events happened to some other person. It always allows me to be brutally honest with myself, more so than I can be in a sober mind. In a way, it can be a self administered psycho therapy.
Other psychedelics have different effects on me. LSD seems to be the one where I get the most spiritual insight.
5-meo-DMT is something Ive tried recently. If there is any chemical that produces a spiritual (Kundalini) experience, this is it. It felt as if my body became pure energy and was one with all that exists (as corny as that sounds, its how it felt). It was great; I'm glad I did it, but I'm not sure if I gained anything from it except an interesting experience. I will definately be trying it again. Next time I'll have an idea of what to expect so hopefully I'll be able to get more out of it.
Whether I use a sitter or not depends on the drug I'm doing. All of the longer lasting psychedilics are usually taken with friends, though I have tripped by myself on more than one occasion. Shorter duration psychs like NN-DMT, and 5-mao-DMT I actually prefer to do by myself. Salvia on the other hand definately requires a sitter (people like to get up and do things on this drug and they wont remember doing any of it when they come back to reality, usually).
