>Combining psychedelics with meditation opens the very real risk of conditioning one's meditation practice to require psychedelics to have any efficacy.

That parallels the story of Ram Dass, Robert Anton Wilson, and many other figureheads from the 60s.

Many of them would trip over and over again to try to figure out how to stay in that place. Then many of them realized meditation can bring them to that place, and once they realized that they stopped tripping.

Tripping is an advertisement to meditate, not the other way around.
