>If these substances would simply fire random neurons in a brain you would expect more of a delirious/deluded and dream-like state.
They don't fire completely random neurons. All drugs have some consistent(ish) effects. Among other things MDMA is more likely to activate empathy-related mechanisms, (some) cannabis is more likely to activate tiredness-related mechanisms and DMT is more likely to affect entity recognition and related mechanisms.
>That entity actually asked you a very valid question. Why do you need to explain it away?
Because generally it's a good habit to have true beliefs. In this case asking yourself might've been better after the experience but the habit itself is good to have and deluding yourself even after the fact is bad.
