Meditating and Drugs

^ I suggest you guys try 2C-C. I found that it's low impact on the body combined with the obvious psychedelic effects to be quite effective for achieving alpha-wave esq meditation.

On a different note, I personally find that weed helps me achieve alpha-wave states. I guess I am one of the few that can actually say without speculation that I know this to be true, b/c this past winter I spent several sessions in a R.E.S.T. chamber that monitored my brain wave patterns during said sessions. Days I smoked weed my brain just seemed to slliiiide right into it, whereas on non-weed days i took longer to sink in and didn't have it sustained for as long. Of course, I am only one individual, and there are many, many factors to consider, however it was definitely an awesome learning experience.
 
I've found nothing more beautifully introspective, drug-related anyway, then going into something like an isolation/sensory deprivation chamber on LSD and meditating. It's something that words just can not do justice to.
 
Sometimes on lower and medium doses I like to mediate, higher doses I get scattered and my mind wanders it’s to hard to focus I just have to go where it takes me. A lot of times I can take like medium dose of something and meditate and go to a higher level of where that substance will take me. It is nice because I can go to a higher level but still be able to step back and not get so lost. A lot of times I mediate on MJ it is a cool headspace but I get scattered after very long. I think meditating sober is the best for me but not as exciting when I’m sober I pretty much know where I’m going but when I’m tripping it’s usually a surprise.
 
I've practiced yoga while on opium (tea) before. Only downside was that I was in a class at the time, not solo.

It was amazing, except I prefer to do it alone. Having to change positions every so often became disrupting...
 
I think I meditate, at least briefly, during all of my drug experiences. I've found 2c-e to go nicely with meditation.
 
I find it difficult to imagine how one could successfully meditate under the influence of opiates/cannabis/ketamine etc. TBH I would be loathe to even consider the idea of meditation being particularly effective on (proper?) psychedelics, my mind is just too active. That's me though, and I know nothing about meditation practices, only what I reckon is right for me. :)

I've only gotten really, really deep in sober meditation 1 time, shortly after returning from a 10 day retreat. Really deep: no thoughts, no agitation, physical dissolution almost, total peace. However, on marijuana and certain psychs I can just slip into that head space.

I would prefer to access the above mentioned head space sober more often, and hopefully will after continued practice.
 
I can only meditate on cannabis if I've had a minimal amount.

I can draw some parallels in experience between some stages of an ayahuasca trip and meditation, but I've never had the presence to try to focus while on it.
