What happens when LSD is used in meditation?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"LSD can offer a glimpse of the divine, but it ultimately seizes control, turning the seeker into a slave of chemistry rather than a master of their own consciousness. True meditation requires a purity and mastery that cannot be achieved through external aids."
According to Osho, LSD can give a glimpse but it seizes control: chemistry becomes the master, creates bodily craving, and makes meditation and dropping the aid harder. Without rigorous yogic-tantric purification and mastery of body chemistry, it may damage the mind. Only a fully prepared adept can use it without losing awareness; otherwise it derails true, patient meditation.
LSD might show something quickly, but it takes over your body and makes real, steady meditation harder unless you’re highly trained to stay in charge.
