That's the same line that the born again Christians try to use when they try to shove their Jesus experiences down others' throats.
I'll tell you what I tell them. I like my state of mind where it is fine thank you. Logical and unimpared by bullshit.

I'm all for being what you want to be. Trying to drag others into your lifestyle is another thing altogether. You are no different than a good fearing sheep.

This is weak reasoning. I think you just want to be contrary.
Hallucinogens were something I deeply enjoyed for their own sake, not any associated lifestyle or culture. I'd encourage someone to try them like I would ice cream or blow jobs, because those things are pretty great.
During our time on this Earth, there is nothing quite like temporarily altering your entire state of existence. If you're logical or intellectually curious, then I'm sure you could appreciate the novelty of that kind of experience. There is no need to sperg out about 'lifestyles', that shit is irrelevant. We view our entire reality through a very specific type of lens. Your lens is a little different than mine because you're autistic, but that's okay. Entheogens give you the opportunity to briefly change that lens and perceive your existence in a different way.
Think of it like you would skiing or sex with a 14 year old japanese schoolgirl; it's just an enjoyable, meaningful activity.
Also I wouldn't buy into the commonly held misconceptions about hallucinogens fucking you up. Same kind of shit as the state telling you "Don't inject so many marijuanas or you'll get addicted and die of an OD". Salvia divinorum is completely harmless, as is psilocybin. Some studies have suggested they may rarely contribute to triggering underlying, pre-existing psychoses, but the evidence is weak. Have you ever imbibed alcohol and gotten drunk? The harmful effects of that substance are exponentially more harmful than almost any hallucinogen.
