Things that seem profound can be trite, and hallucinations can be misleading. If you look on the web (or particularly on YouTube) for outsider mathematics/physics you can find a lot of slightly unbalanced people are convinced they've managed to square the circle or invent perpetual motion machines. Drugs make such epiphanies far more intense and increase the risk of false positives. Stuff that may seem super-meaningful at the time may be just incongruous, which is noticeable with a lot of art done on drugs (as opposed to inspired by drugs); the mind wanders in many interesting directions, but it wander off into many uninteresting ones too.

But that's like anything else - you watch a classic old movie and it utrns out to have a few (ro even many) scenes that just drag, or a book turns out to have some excellent ideas but also a fair amount of filler, a scientific paper is a theoretical breakthrough but also contains some conjectures that turn out to be wrong. Einstein went to his grave a frustrated man insofar as he was unable to articulate a theory of everything that would have made relatively consistent with quantum mechanics, but we don't think of Einstein as a failure.

Think of it like a prism for your mind. A prism allows you to see light and color in a wholly new way, but you wouldn't want to wear prisms in front of your eyes like spectacles because you would be constantly misjudging things and banging your knees. Doesn't mean that what you can see with a prism is false, it's just not optimal for continual use.
