Thank you, that spawned this notion in my head, I wonder why. It’s funny, I think, how quickly people dismiss the subjective experience of a crackhead having an ecstatic conversation with God or the universe — yet insist that the depth of their own experience of love, religion, or meditation can’t possibly be reduced to neurotransmitters.

You can reduce all of human experience to chemistry, but you'd be missing most of the meaning, understanding, and wisdom of it. (If there is any, in the case of the cracked visionary.)
