I'm curious, have you ever combined meditation with psychoactive substances?

I've found that marijuana and amphetamines both make it substantially easier for me to meditate and calm my mind. I'm not particularly experienced though- just a handful of times a month for a few years...

I'd recommend combining microdosing (10 micrograms) with meditation. It can subtly take you to another level. It doesn't however render the "pure" meditation experience inferior.

And I recommend higher doses. But be familiar with both.

Oh I didn't intend to exclude those. I absolutely agree - 150 micrograms (and up, for experienced users) can absolutely have life transforming effects, if used with the right attitude and careful preparation.
