No, you misread the whole thing (as it a was miselading extract). It was Jay Lathom telling Maharishi (in the 1970's) about an experience he had on heroin 5 years before (even before he took up TM). He didn't tell Maharishi it was a heroin trip but MMY probably suspected enough. That does not invalidate Jay's experience but heroin is no way to go about it. Maharishi was just taking it at face value. No-one ever 'touted it as a TM enlightenment experience'. The original extract that was posted is misleading without backgroound info.
