I am of the opinion that drug use makes you feel more spiritual because you're more accepting of your own thought processes. When something pops into your high mind, you just kind of think "yeah, okay" and go along with it where your sober mind might question it or ignore it. Thus, you can reach spiritual conclusions much more quickly.
On a somewhat comical side note, this affect also tends to make really bad ideas seem like really good ones. I've got whole lists of those. Not my own, but my friends'. I'm sure some of you out there heard about the kid who tried to stuff his girlfriend in a duffle bag for a free bus ride. He's my friend and I can garuntee that was one of his high ideas.
In the end, I guess you trade "common sense" (a term that I don't like using) for clarity.
