The Attraction for Drugs Is Spiritual

I have never had hallucinations while meditating. Closest thing I would consider a hallucination is the so-called “entering the cavern” feeling, where some people (myself included) can pretty readily achieve a state where you have the vague bodily sensation that you’ve grown significantly in size, perhaps becoming like 10 times taller/bigger than you actually are. Trancelike states are barely a hallucination either.
Hallucination has absolutely nothing to do with meditation, nor have I ever treated meditation as an attempt to hallucinate. This article seems kind of ridiculous.
Furthermore, you have other extraordinary experiences, like for example feelings of universal love, that people seek out via drugs (ecstasy/MDMA) that can be found via meditation (esp. Metta/loving kindness).
