>drugs cause your nervous system to release energy
>cultivation is the opposite, trying to store up chi in your nervous system
Interesting. Surely, if drugs have such a wondrous effect that they can cause your body to release energy, then they can be used for cultivation right? Surely there are medicines which make energy more active, or more apparent to our senses. Of course, this is based on the assumption that drugs can indeed cause our body to release chi.

Yes, psychedelics can release energy, and cause it to move through the body, brain, and nervous system.

>cultivation is the opposite [of release]
Not exactly. 'Cultivation' is a carefully chosen word. And, obv, not a Chinese or Sanskrit one, so YMMV, but hear me out. To cultivate something is to nurture it, and give it the conditions in which to grow. It doesn't mean that we are trying to fill our systems with energy. If you exercise, do tai chi and chi gung, yes you will increase the energy in your system. But you can increase the energy of everything in your system, your neuroses, and personality traits. Some people who become martial arts teachers become pretty unpleasant people to be around if they aren't also *releasing* energy from their systems. 

In Taoism 'fire' systems will draw energy into the system, 'pack' it in, and forcefully move it through, aiming to 'burn through' the energy blocks associated with neuroses. If done under a skilled and sane master this can work. But done incorrectly it will power up all the fucked up parts of yourself you'd rather not show in public, and basically make you a bit of a twat. 

Taoist 'water' systems of chi gung aim to dissolve, heal, and release the energy of our neuroses. As we do this, our systems can then naturally draw in more energy and things stay balanced.

I wouldn't recommend trying to do any of these practises with drugs. There is a place for the traditional shamanic use of psychedelics.
