There is little doubt that psychedelics and weed unleash creativity, unhindered self expression, and the unconscious mind. The vast majority of my best ideas appear out of nowhere while I'm in a drug induced state. It's a really really powerful tool but it can lead to worries of being less capable of uncovering life changing truths while sober. This period of worry has subsided after a few experiences where I've felt I conjured up meaningful truths and ideas while sober, but these moments are difficult to come by. Certainly there are drug induced effects that aren't possible in waking consciousness, but there are other aspects of psychedelics that apply to our normal state of awareness, like creativity. In that case it seems that those aspects can be trained and developed like any other skill/ability. What sober activities can help surface the deeper parts of our being?
