Comment on Meditation is like drugs but better
farcaster@lemmy.world 4 days agoMeditation doesn’t get you high?
No it’s a a fairly sober experience.
Drugs don’t alter your awareness?
Well I guess they can. I have no firsthand experience with psychedelics etc. but it doesn’t sound like the same kind of experience.

Well it gets me high. It’s a standard result of meditating.
And yes, drugs, like meditation, alter your awareness. Not saying they do it exactly the same way but yes, the same stuff, altered.

Well everyone is different. I practiced Zazen and nobody ever told me of experiencing a high or altered awareness.
