Yea, but like, acid and mushrooms don't require any effort.

Ha ha I can't argue with that. I've heard of some yogis comparing hallucinogens to having a day pass, while they've got a lifetime membership.

One warning - don't mix drugs with yoga. I've heard of a few people who did. They ended up "walking with the gods" for a while and then it just stopped and they crashed down majorly. If you need drugs to force your body to produce these chemicals, at some point the party will finish.

Their effects are not well controlled either.
And they tend to be transitory as well. Meditation, while slower, tends to do a better job of integrating insights into one's personality and daily life.
