This is pretend stupidity - right?

Well the conventional explanation of drug experiences (say) is that the drug has caused the brain to malfunction. My point is that when that 'malfunction' seems to consist of new experiences (see for example the descriptions of DMT trips), it is hard to accept that as a malfunction - just in the same way as when a car malfunctions it does not suddenly acquire a whole new functionality.
