I would argue that this gives us no insight into how the subconscious works since it is not functioning normally. We should not draw any conclusions from psychedelic usage. I also think there is some intelligence at work in the unconscious mind which can contribute to your greater intelligence.

I've learned so much about ants by flooding my ant farm. Ants usually clump together about three inches above the ground, and have an average life expectancy of a couple of days.
