weed is a real psychedelic if you do it right.

Thing is, it isn't "vaguely", but strikingly similar.
And are the people who had the money and power in India really going to be the ones who were baked all the time?
Wouldn't building temples designed to look like what you saw when you were baked be considered an insult to God by most religious people?
No? Why would it be? Just because drugs are looked down on today doesn't mean they were in ancient times. Quite the contrary. Cannabis was an entheogen. Drugs and the states they caused were considered quite holy. They still are today by some.
Do you have any evidence to support this claim? That drugs wern't looked down on in India? The only stories of ancient drug use I know of in India is the assassins.
And what do you mean by "ancient times"? The taj mahal was built in 1631. Are you saying drugs were considered holy then? You really think the guy building the taj mahal got baked and thought everything I build must look like what I see when I'm baked?

I think it's a moot point - whether we/they found these patterns through drugs, meditation or just usual artistic processes, it's still the same thing, hence the recognition.
In my mind there is no doubt that the indians have been blazing away on weed and charas as they do now (!) for at least thousands of years.
