That's what I'm wondering as well. If you are only experiencing it when you're high, is it really that... enlightening?

You say: "I got awakened... and then just went back to my old boring life." Doesn't sound like a true awakening/enlightment to me. I think when people talk of such experiences, it more along the lines of "I got enlightened... and my life was never the same again."

In other words, you move to a new plane of consciousness and understanding and that change is permanent. Or at least it does not need an outside force to switch it on again.
