Carlos Castaneda would probably disagree with this lol.
Shamans world-wide use psychedelic drugs as a learning tool.
Of course there are two caveats:
#1 They actually know what they are doing, unlike most people and
#2 They use the drugs in controlled fashion. i.e. Someone is always sober and guiding the user.
I don't use them myself because I don't have any knowledgeable shamans in close proximity...Plus, my meditations/experiences are strange enough without drugs.
