I read about the Marsh Chapel Experiment and would appreciate your opinions, if you feel so inclined.
The Marsh Chapel Experiment
The Marsh Chapel Experiment (a.k.a. "the Good Friday Experiment") was run by Walter N. Pahnke, a graduate student in theology at Harvard Divinity School, under the supervision of Timothy Leary and the Harvard Psilocybin Project. The goal was to see if in religiously predisposed subjects, psilocybin (the active principle in psilocybin mushrooms) would act as a reliable entheogen.
Whatever the folly in dubbing a substance an "entheogen", it seems obvious that in people who are 'predisposed' to religion any substance (call it what you will) that provides a further challenge to reason - is likely to further confuse the subject and make them more suggestive to whatever current delusion they are feeling.
