       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.
