Exactly. One of the "trippiest" things about LSD is its ability to be active in doses so small as to be nearly non-existent. It's merely a (very powerful) trigger to your own brain chemistry. (Ecstacy likewise, though not nearly as miraculously effective in miniscule does as LSD).
In both cases, it's your own brain chemistry at work. Essentially, an innate ability that is rarely enjoyed without trigger assistance. The adrenaliine rush of skydiving is a trigger assistance.
There are many such trigger assists that we call "natural" because circumstances like being chased by a bear will produce tons of adrenaline, and being subjected to torture will produce tons of endorphines. But finding these chemical-dump triggers to be the "right" or natural ones while LSD is a somehow "wrong" and dangerous one is naive.
(I'm not saying all this to rebut scaeagles, just to point out info which I find interesting)
