Has anyone even noticed an increase in intensity of ritualistic effect when under the influence of drugs and, in particular, cannabis?

I've noticed that when doing the LBRP I almost get knocked over while vibrating the God names. However, when sober, the effect is decreased substantially.

Middle Pillar Ritual is similar. As soon as I vibrate (even if only mentally) AHYH I get an intense buzzing in Kether which, if continued, makes it feel as though my head is going to explode. Because of this, I usually only repeat this vibration once and proceed onto the other areas as per normal. I'm curious as to what might happen if I were to continue with Kether, but have always chickened out due to the discomfort it causes.

I theorise that this might have to do with making oneself grow on the astral (in Regardie's instructions, this usually precedes the LBRP) and suspect that marijuana might automatically induce this, given that it amplifies one's senses. (On that note, should this exercise also precede the Middle Pillar?)

Anyone else know what might be happening here? Any theories?

Mind-altering substances have been used for spiritual purposes for thousands of years. They help you get into a different mode of consciousness and look at things from a different perspective. Weed, like you said, also heightens your senses, so pretty much everything you do is going to be more intense.

I'm stealing from Aldous Huxley a bit, but this is mostly me:

Your brain takes pure reality and filters and categorizes it and makes it useful, relates stimuli to an ego, constructs an ego from stimuli.

As you turn off the filter, you get an unhindered flow of reality. Or the part of your brain responsible for separating the significant from the insignificant gets impaired.

But consider falling asleep and what happens to your ego as that happens. In delta sleep your ego has dissolved and you're no one and everyone. Somewhere between awake and unconscious, and by extension between alert and impaired, is therefore where you're going to have transpersonal experiences and go beyond yourself.

I have found that when I get really baked that I'll suddenly have a massive insight on metaphysics. For some parts of a acid trip my Chakra network will sync up and I'll be more connected to the universe. I can do things that would normally require me to prepare my network before hand.

"In order to evoke Phantoms it is sufficient to intoxicate oneself or to render oneself mad; for Phantoms are ever the companions of drunkenness and of vertigo.

The Phosphorus of the imagination, abandoned to all the caprices of over-excited and diseased nerves, fills itself with Monsters and absurd visions.

We can also arrive at hallucination by mingling together wakefulness and sleep by the graduated use of narcotics; but such actions are crimes against nature."
