Were my experiences with LSD genuine experiences of samadhi?

outcome
"LSD may amplify your unconscious, but it is not samadhi; true meditation arises from within, not from chemical projections."
According to Osho, LSD-induced states are not samadhi but chemically amplified projections of your unconscious—'a chemical way of dreaming.' The drug suspends reason and lets preloaded images (kundalini, unity, fear, bliss) appear vividly, differing per person. Mistaking these for realization obstructs true meditation, breeds comparison and depression, and weakens inner silence. He advises dropping LSD and cultivating natural awareness through meditation.
LSD trips are vivid dreams from your own mind, not real awakening—skip the drug and learn to meditate instead.
