[font=Comic Sans Ms][size=6][size=4]Psilocybin Creates Consistent Mystical Experience An unusually rigorous study carried out at Johns Hopkins has confirmed that DMT, the active substance in sacred mushrooms, causes all subjects to hallucinate the same environment and have the same mystical experiences.
This was also the finding in an earlier study by Dr. Richard Strassman, Dreamland guest and author of DMT, the Spirit Molecule. Dr. Strassman speculates that the drug may be enabling subjects to actually see into a parallel universe. He suggests this not only because of the consistency involved in what is seen, but also because time seems to pass in the visionary world between observations under DMT.
The Johns Hopkins researchers do not speculate in this direction. Study leader Roland Griffiths, PhD, warned about the dangers of unsupervised psylocibin use, saying that a third of the study subjects reported 'significant fear' and some also experienced transient feelings of paranoia. No doubt this was due to the laboratory atmosphere...sterile...fear invoking of itself*
One third of the subjects rated their psylocibin experience during the study as the most significant spiritual experience of their lives. Two months after the study 79 percent of the participants reported moderately to greatly increased well-being compared to subjects given a placebo in the study.
