Firstly, anything regardless of what it is, that can lead to addiction is harmful to the human being. And drugs can cause certain people to fall into a state of dependency where they no longer care about their health or life experience because the state of being they experience under the affect of the drug becomes their life. There are some who will not go out and do anything unless they can be drugged ahead of time. And so because of this risk We would not advise anyone to try anything like this in the first place. We all know someone who has had their life ruined by drugs. Certainly when they first started it they were sure that it was going to be a simple experiment.
Secondly, if one does choose to attempt an experiment to see what benefit they might receive for spiritual purposes, one must understand that whenever one reduces their capacity to experience their environment, they reduce the opportunity to interact with their environment. One may experience particular exaggerations within their drugged state, but what would they be missing that might be taking place in the real world while they are under the influence of the other.
A monk sits in drugged meditation on a grassy hill enjoying the visions and hallucinations that cause him to feel in touch with his spiritual aspect, and people pass by him on the path and look at him in wonderment. They wonder how it is that such a man cannot be aware that he is sitting on an anthill and is being eaten alive.
Reality is the state we are in now. Everything that exists is already here with us. There is no need to experience hallucinations to experience the All. If the consciousness is tuned to being sensitive to our reality there is no drug that can exceed that skill. If anything a drug will reduce one's ability to be in tune with reality. if one wants to experience what may lie beyond the veil, drugs will not assist in that effort. There is only one Way to see the other side, and that is through understanding what the other side is.
