Oh Stan, I read Be Here Now, and Ram Dass's guru actually said something far more funny. He took some LSD, appeared to be no different in his behavior and thinking, and announced.."the Americans..they've even managed to put God in a pill!"
I'm going to go out on a limb here: the trances of sadhus in India are nothing like the altared states induced by hallucinogens such as lsd and aminita muscaria. it strikes me as monumental bullshit that the two are compared.
hallucinogenic drugs can be extraordinarily powerful. i would say that peak experiences in yoga and meditation are far more lucid and convincing of inner divinity. hallucinogens are good for different reasons- like seeing through the ego and the illusion of separation.
