So, do you buy into the whole religious experience thing?

Yes, it is "all" in your head. Religious experiences come from inside; by the way you interpret your experience.

I wouldn't really call that tripping if you just giggled at stuff. Sounds more like you were high. Depends on the person too though, definitely.

It's very likely that the concept of religion first came about from drug experiences.

Well said! Moreover, in a lot less words than William James used in Varieties of Religious Experience.

the psychedelic expirience for me is a spiritual thing because it is a reminder of whats pure. it reconnects one with the gratifacation of immediate expireince and silent knowledge.
