In trance states, there is a more or less stationary system waiting, so to speak. In trance states, consciousness itself brings about the chemical changes within it as it, consciousness, travels. Changes do occur within the body. When consciousness alters its direction it automatically alters the physical system. When it is ready to return the physical system is automatically prepared to receive it.

Now in the drug situation the state of consciousness desired is brought about by altering chemical properties. Consciousness, travelling, cannot automatically manipulate the physical station. Consciousness must stay out, you see, until the chemical situation has changed.

This is somewhat like drugging a child about to be born as a side effect of drugging the mother to make the birth easier, you see. Without drugs, the psychedelic experience will not occur unless circumstances are excellent from all aspects. There is little danger involved, as a rule. The chemical changes are automatically byproducts of the mobility of consciousness in such situations.
