classic trip guide
Nowadays there are only two ways to find out about the mystical experience- read Alan Watts or one of the other psychedelic writers of the 60s and 70s or join a contemplative order in the Himalayas and practice chanting and fasting for 10 years. All the drugs that so readily induce the mystical experience are now classed with cocaine, even the humble liberty cap.
So the only realistic alternative to risking a fine and a jail sentence is to collect and read psychedelic literature. Oh- there is a third way; join Santo Daime and take ayahuasca, at least until the authorities decide to ban that as well.
