What's the Difference Between a Psychedelic Experience and a Personal Vision?

I think the main thing we've established here is that having a deeply spiritual experience is not necessarily wrong. Like it's not considered to be like drunk or being in an irresponsible state to use things like breath work, fasting, worship, music, smells, and things of the like to enter into a spiritually-charged state. The difference is that one is achieved via popping pills and drugs or injections or whatnot and the other is achieved on one's knees you know in the living room or in the bedroom and the basement or in the backyard in prayer. I think that the means or the avenue via which one reaches that spiritual experience is the main differentiating characteristic.
