The receptors for psychedelics aren't there for no reason, heavy prayer and meditation can trigger similar effects. Substances are just a shortcut, that's why religion don't tend to like them. Personally I think that as long as it isn't used as a crutch it's totally fine to buy a day pass.
the receptors for psychedelics are the same as normal happiness receptors, just constantly stimulated by the drugs binding to them (similar to SSRI). prayer and meditation can have partially similar effect, fractals, feelings happiness, and even ego death yes, but there is more to psychedelics than those, they can completely alter your perception of reality and thoughts
So can meditation, if you are good enough and go deep enough. I've heard stories of Buddhist monks that think LSD is weak stuff.
