While I
think it's probably true that not all hallucinogens are created
equal, I
would guess their mechanism of action is similar, they
over-excite
the cortex of the brain and do bizarre things with our
neurotransmitters--like
fizz them out and do some not so nice things to
the synaptic
gap with routine use. We'd already discussed my
observation
of kundalini scarring on some practitioners who did
LSD/psilocybin
as teenagers.
If your
tejas glows more bright during it, that's exactly what I'd
expect.
It would be
interesting to compare the brains say of Terrence Mckenna
and a long
term meditator. I would guess one would show greater neural
development
while the other would show some form of damage and/or
scarring.

Vaj,
You are absolutely correct that McKenna’s
brain would show damage. It would show all kinds of damage and necrotic tissue,
but not because he took hallucinogens. His brain has been rotting for years BECAUSE
HE HAS BEEN DEAD!
