remember, it is not just the visual or mental stimulation that is important, it is also very much the physical and the spiritual. People do not climb mountains or run tri-athalons strictly for the scenery or the experience, but also because of the extremeness demanded by the activities. From the work is produced a beautiful experience. This is the same with mushrooms and most other "shamanistic" plants, there is a definite physical aspect to the experience which is an integral part.
