I've been noticing the patterns of people who indulge in psychedelics, and those who at least try them in a grand scale. One pattern I notice is they almost always believe in reincarnation, and that we're all connected in a sense; in a way, it's almost platonic or far-eastern in thought. Not sure how one comes to this conclusion.
But for one, I have also notice there's always the mention of Jesters/Elves/Aliens/Daemons/Gnomes ect ect. I would assume these are demons? Why would a substance give us the ability to see demons?
Some people such as Terrance Mckenna, and Alan Watts all have done psychedelics, and believe in some form of reincarnation. Joe Rogan in particular mentioned the Jesters in his DMT experiences, i'm not sure if he believes in reincarnation but I wouldn't be surprised, and he isn't the first source that I've heard mention Jesters in a trip.
Of course, I find the Bible mentions such a warning against this, in the verse:
>Galatians 5:19-21
>19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

>pharmakeia: the use of medicine, drugs or spells
Of course, the term that relates to drug taking, isn't so well translated in most English Bibles, and is translated generally into witchcraft. This would fit the Shamanistic practices.
In conclusion, it just sounds like most of these drugs screw your head up and destroy your spirit. So, are these really demons or a hallucination? And why do so many people come to the conclusion of reincarnation, along with the thought of some God-like ego on the side? Why do they look like clowns/elves? Has any saint or church father touched on this subject?
