Are Psychedelic Experiences Psychosis/Delusions of the Mind?

[SQAAD]

I love psychedelics and i think they can help a lot if you know what you are doing BUT because of the social/cultural conditioning i got from the past sometimes i just wonder if maybe psychedelic experiences are just delusions/psychosis?

What's you opinion about that? Certainly some people seem to have genuine mystical experiences using psychedelics and others just suffer from delusions and mental projections...How do you sort the wheat from the chaff?

Complicated stuff...

-Thank you for your time!

Simple: people who have a history of mental illness should not take psychedelics...

What if there is no such thing as a normal state of consciousness and you're hallucinating right now ?

What if a chemical could actually make you see how life is by default without you unconsciously alterating it ?

And what if the words I'm typing aren't words but pixels on a screen that you hallucinate a meaning out of them ?
