I believe meditation is different from chemically induced experiences.

I'm not aware of 'tripping out' by those meditating, who are not using
these chemicals. 

hallucinations

Interesting word.....say one has ingested a psilocybin-containing
mushroom and can see 3 dimensions in a 2d picture.  Or can see their
footprints on a carpeted floor.  On the other hand, seeing pictureless
content in their mind is descriptive of hallucinations that most
likely are created via chemical(s) acting upon neurons.

I believe YMMV (different experiences) happen with chemical usage, but
for those who mediate, a common set of experiences without "trips".
