It's really not a good idea to take drugs and lose control of |
|
the mind, thoughts, will, body and actions. This causes the |
|
mind to open up to other things even spirits, that take control. |
|
1Pet. 5:8 Be alert, be reflective, because your enemy Satan |
|
roars like a lion and is walking and seeking whom he may devour. |

Religious leaders get high on magic mushrooms ingredient � for |
|
science |
|
Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore enlists priests, rabbis |
|
and a Buddhist to test the effects of psychedelic drugs on |
|
religious experience |
|
Scientists at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore have |
|
enlisted two dozen religious leaders from a wide range of |
|
denominations, to participate in a study in which they will be |
|
given two powerful doses of psilocybin, the active ingredient in |
|
magic mushrooms. |
|
Dr William Richards, a psychologist at Johns Hopkins University |
|
in Baltimore, Maryland who is involved in the work, said: �With |
|
psilocybin these profound mystical experiences are quite common. |
|
It seemed like a no-brainer that they might be of interest, if |
|
not valuable, to clergy.� |
|
The experiment, which is currently under way, aims to assess |
|
whether a transcendental experience makes the leaders more |
|
effective and confident in their work and how it alters their |
|
religious thinking. |
|
Despite most organised religions frowning on the use of illicit |
|
substances, Catholic, Orthodox and Presbyterian priests, a Zen |
|
Buddhist and several rabbis were recruited. The team has yet to |
|
persuade a Muslim imam or Hindu priest to take part, but �just |
|
about all the other bases are covered,� according to Richards. |
