Regarding the comment about intensity: I agree that the intensity is dosage dependent. What I was getting at was that with a sufficient dosage, psychedelics can provide a level of intensity that is for the most part not matched by "real" experiences that most people would encounter. Also, the peak effects of most psychedelics last only a few hours at most. I imagine a 12 hour peak would be rather uncomfortable.
I think my response is colored by my relative lack of life experience. I agree with you that it is likely possible to achieve a similarly intense experience via activities like skilled meditation, though I haven't done it myself.

A 12 hour peak can definitely be described as uncomfortable. It was certainly interesting, at least. The DOX class of drugs are weird.
