Religious Leaders' Psilocybin Experience Study

A study involved various religious leaders taking psilocybin, leading to profound spiritual experiences for most participants.

More than 90% of the clergy found the experience spiritually meaningful, and almost half considered it the most profound of their lives.

Some clergy became proponents of psychedelics in religious contexts, even integrating them into their teachings.

The study faced ethical criticisms due to potential conflicts of interest and biases, but these issues were addressed.

Biases included recruitment language potentially influencing expectations, and a non-diverse sample pool.
