Afaik what they do is make neural signals transmission less energy-consuming and therefore faster, increasing the flow of thought and creativity, but yeah on the other hand it makes cognitive thinking and reasoning much harder because the brain is struggling to catch up with all this mess. It also causes some sensory information to intersect (some people self-reportedly could taste the colors and see sounds when under effect, as crazy as it sounds, if you know you know) which impairs one's ability to do any routine stuff really
But I'm not talking about the actual trip, rather the post-factum effects which are more related to one's perception and interaction with their own thoughts and emotions. I guess it's a side effect of overcoming anxiety and certain mental barriers, which some people might not have in the first place and wouldn't require any sort of 'help' to get to such level of awareness and clarity.
