Whooooosh.

They're describing how something felt, not something that "actually" happened. Who are you to say they didn't feel that way?

Well i'd argue that feeling something isn't exactly gnosis then. Doesn't matter how awesome you felt if the extent of your revelation is "i exist and i'm part of the universe'

Call me cynical but hearing druggies talk about their trips like it's some transcendental super knowledge sounds just like a facebook aunt talking about the power of healing crystals to me or some such nonsense.

Calling anyone who's ever had a psychedelic experience a "druggie" is extremely judgemental. Unlike crystals, the point of psychedelics is the experience itself, and I can assure you it's very real. But that makes me a "druggie" right? Seems like you think the only people qualified to comment on psychedelic experiences are the ones who know nothing about them because they've never had one.

I've no problem wih drugs or even psychedelics, but the moment you start acting like you're a buddhist monk because you took acid once is when i'll start rolling my eyes.

You're reading a lot into that person's comment that isn't there.
