A lot of people describe a point of being on drugs as a "religious experience".
Have you ever spoken to/seen evidence of god while on drugs? If so, what kind of drugs, and did it change your views on god?

The connection is the Serotonin molecule, all of the commmon religious experience drugs are very similar drugs to the serotonin neurotransmitter. God, my friend, is nothing more than your brain reacting to these molecules. If you know your drugs, and you know them well, you realize that there is no experiencing God on these drugs... you realize that all you are doing is hacking your brain and being amazed by how kick *** it is.

Unlike the common western belief, the Hindus believe in only one God. Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva constitute the trinity. They are different manifestations of the same god and function as the Creator, preserver and the destroyer respectively. The world ends when Shiva dances his 'Tandava' or the dance of destruction. He is known to consume the 'Datura' seeds and other Hallucinogenic substances before the dancing frenzy.
Ancient Aryans consumed the juice of the Soma plant, another hallucinogen now lost to mankind, before performing major religious rites. The 'Tantrik' sadhus regularly consume Marijuana.

There is no connection between drugs and God, God makes everything that is Alive, man makes things that are dead! Man makes drugs, God made foods and herbs that can keep us healthy without drugs!

Drugs just make it a little easier and quicker to get the god delusion.

I had what I might call a religious experience while on mushrooms. The music I was listening to became like a god to me.

Anytime I've been high on anything, God is always right there breathing down my neck pissed as hell at me for listening to the devil side of my shoulder...I don't think getting high is a religious experience though. That's the first time I've ever heard that jargon.

Never saw or spoke to God, but I did have a fascinating convo with the devil while driving down the road.

By worshipping GOD, you get mermerised and and feel lighter.By taking drugs, you get a feeling of floating in the clouds and feel lighter. In both states, you are not yourself and become "possessed".
