I would say that sometimes drugs can relax,or in some way trigger you to see things that you're conciousness would normally block out.Those are things that are already there in your subconcoious waiting to be noticed.You don't need drugs to "see".There are all types of meditation and techniqes to raise conciousness.If that intrest you I would get in touch with some meditation groups and research you're intrest, start there.I would'nt advise anyone to use drugs if they want to raise conciousness,or for any reason.It's dangerous and of course illegal.You're really just going to fry you're mind.Sorry if I sound like I'm preaching.It sounds like you're curious that's not necescarily a bad thing.Do some reseach on healthy ways to raise conciousness,even if you don't pursue anything it would be intresting to research.
But,to answer you're question I think drugs can both open your mind and close it.Depending on the individgual and other circumstances.That may not be much of a help.There are so many factors involved.I don't think there's anyway to say.You're only going to open your subconcious though.It definetely can close your subconcious too,there's no doubt about that.Ultimately I don't think anyone can say,and I don't really know.Just my thoughts on the subject.
