How is the use of psychedelics viewed in zen thought?

I am talking specifically about the usage of psychedelics to facilitate "ego dissolution" and thus consciousness of the nature of things. Things like magic mushrooms are known to aid the growth of this consciousness, and I wonder if it is a tool that is used in zen practice. If not, I wonder why? Thanks
