• W283469069 abstract "Experimental efforts to investigate the apparent paranormal effects of psychoactive drugs began with simple stimulants and depressants such as caffeine, amphetamine, and alcohol (e.g., Huby & Wilson, 1961; Rhine, 1934), and has been reviewed elsewhere (Palmer, 1978; Rao, 1966). The present review, however, is focused on psychedelic substances, which Braud (2002) has suggested primarily cause qualitative rather than just quantitative alterations to the user's state of consciousness and are seemingly much more favorable to the facilitation of psi and other paranormal experiences, anecdotally at least. Earlier reviews of psychedelics in parapsychology exist (Blewett, 1963; Krippner & Davidson, 1974; Parker, 1975; Rogo, 1976; Wilson, 1949) and these have been incorporated into the current paper, yet a systcmatic analysis of the empirical research to date is overdue. The active use of psychedelic substances for paranormal purposes supposedly extends back to the ancient Greek oracles at Delphi (von Bibra, 1855/1994) and even into prehistory (Devereux 1997). Since the beginning of the 20th century, when Zerda Bayon (1912) isolated harmaline from the South American jungle decoction ayahuasca and named it telepathine, anthropologists, ethnobotanists, mycologists and other field researchers have continued to report psychedelic-induced paranormal activities among ritual users of these substances (e.g., Andritzky, 1989; Shannon, 2002; Slotkin, 1956; Wasson, 1979; Winkelman, 1989). Some have even reported the direct observation or experience of this themselves (e.g., Kensinger, 1978; Stamets, 1996; Wasson & Wasson, 1957) and such pharmaco-magical practices are now once more fairly common among contemporary occultists in the Unitcd States and Europe (Vayne, 2001; Louv, 2005). Indeed, following the cultural explosion in psychedelic drug use during the 1960s, reports of ostensible paranormal phenomena such as ESP became commonplace among both psychedelic psychotherapists (e.g., Eisner, 1995; Grof, 1975, 1980; Harman, 1963; Holzinger, 1964; Pahnke, 1968; Stolaroff, 2004) and so-called recreational users (e.g., Eisner, 1989; Gaskin, 1990; Krippner & Fersh, 1970; Osmond, 1968; Stevens, 1989; Wolfe, 1971), as well as among parapsychologists (e.g., Krippner, 2006; Millay, 1999, 2001, 2004). Anecdotes aside, there are good theoretical reasons for investigating psychedelic-induced ESP and other paranormal phenomena. Given that an altered state of consciousness (ASC) is a common feature in the occurrence of subjective paranormal experiences (Alvarado, 1998; Parker, 1975) and has often been incorporated into experimental attempts to induce ESP (e.g., see Palmer, 1978), then visionary drugs are, potentially, a repeatable means of accessing such a state. Several researchers have documented some of the mind-altering features of the visionary-drug experience that are considered conducive to the production of ESP (Blackmore, 1992; Blewett, 1963; Krippner & Fersh, 1970; Millay, 2001; Garrett, 1961; Huxley, 1961; Nicol & Nicol, 1961; Osis, 1961; Panhke, 1968; Parker, 1975; Rogo, 1976; Tart 1968, 1994). These have been categorized as follows: 1. Increase in vividness and quality of the mental image and the dreamlike state. 2. Altered perception of self-identity, such as unity consciousness. 3. Altered body perceptions and dissociation (of particular interest to the study of OBEs). 4. Distorted sensory input. 5. Increased absorption and focused attention. 6. Increased empathy, which is of interest for telepathy. 7. Emotional flexibility, which may also assist in negotiating fears about manifesting psi. 8. Increased alertness and awareness. 9. Increased spontaneity. 10. Sensitivity to subtle changes and intensity of feeling. 11. Physical relaxation. 12. Increased suggestibility. 13. Increase in intuitive thought processes. …" @default.
