A distinction should be made in this thread between narcotics (i.e. 'feel good' drugs, alcohol, cocaine, heroin, meth, various opiates) and psychedelics ('consciousness/mind-expanding' tools, such as LSD, 2C-xx, various RC's such as 4-ho-met mentioned above) and a further distinction may be made to include entheogens ('awakening the god within/divine manifesting' substances such as DMT/Ayahuasca, psilocybin mushrooms, peyote cactus, LSA (morning glory seeds/hawaiian baby woodrose seeds/rivea corymbosa seeds).
It is important to note that all experiences in consciousness are impermanent, and those who seek fulfillment and permanent joy in external, often temporary things will be disappointed. Desiring for ephemeral happiness can oftentimes be an impediment, so I personally see absolutely no real use or benefit from any narcotic.
Psychedelics, if used in a responsible, informed, and mature manner, can be excellent mental tools to facilitate deep and profound bouts of insight, reflection, introspection and overcome or accomplish extraordinary things in regards to creative endeavors. Psychedelics certainly can be quite beneficial and do have their uses, though frequent use and obviously abuse is heavily discouraged as it is still your own mind which you are experimenting with.
Lastly, the entheogenic experience. Entheogens are most beneficial to those who approach them with reverence, and for those who are on a spiritual path, implementation of them into one's practices can prove highly effective, bordering on divine mysticism. Shamans are an excellent example of those who have properly worked with plant teachers and been able to harness their true power and potential in order to better perform their works in consciousness via visionary quests and to be able to work within these altered states with extreme clarity and mastery. The individual who seeks to better enhance their connection with the Universe/the One Infinite Creator may find that undergoing the entheogenic experience may produce very interesting results. Before such a point may be reached, the responsible neo-shaman will inevitably undergo the experience of 'spiritual re-awakening/cleansing'; to this community the preferred terminology would be 'penetrating the veil', or at least thinning it considerably.
In my humble opinion, I rank entheogens as being the most useful tools an entity in 3rd Density could learn to properly utilize to achieve hands-on experience with the Divine, if used responsibly. Not everyone uses them for the pursuits of achieving entheogenic gnosis, however, so it is foolish to think that everyone who uses them will instantly 'perceive the Divine' and that they should be used by anybody. Although, such experiences are non-exclusive and it is always hoped and preferable for the individual who undergoes these states to experience something such as 'merging with the Godhead'.
