Are drugs bad if they give you a religious experience?
If you are taking drugs to "meet God" it is the wrong way to go about it. Why would God only want to come meet with us when our body is heavily intoxicated? For Christians, our objective reality is Christ. Because Christ is the best possible reality, there is absolutely no reason to exchange the truth of Christ for some subjective high or trip. I do however, think that God can and does reach out to people who are on drug trips and call them to Himself. The bottom line is that God could talk to us legitimately while we are under the influence of hallucinogenics, but to chase after such drug-induced religious experiences is morally wrong.
