The best way to understand things is to contemplate them with an empty, open, clear mind. Meditation can achieve more than any drug possibly could. You know when you've reached this ideal state when you can keep your eyes open and ears unplugged, yet would not know that you were not blind and deaf it you were to think about it. Of course, you wouldn't be thinking about it, but you get the idea.
Drugs cloud perception and heighten external senses. The only way to achieve enlightened thought is to be able to ignore the senses and focus inward.
