I have to agree generally with what RezZ is saying on the matter, not that I really disagree with you. Personally for me, it definately altered my perception of reality at some fundamental level. I wasn't smarter by any means, but my perception and approach to a lot of things was altered in some way.
I can't say that applies to everyone, because like RezZ said, it's different from individual to individual. My trips generally had very profound overtones to them (if that makes sense), and there were generally quite emotional as well. I think some people may take it at more of a surface level, as just "tripping out," though I guess I can't say for certain.
