Stanley Krippner - LSD and Psychic Phenomena

Attempting to Grasp the Unpredictable and the Intangible LSD-type drugs have often been used to facilitate so-called "psychic phenomena", in other words, those experiences that seem to defy mainstream science's concepts of time, space, and energy. An Italian investigation met with meager results, and few formal studies have been attempted since. Such hypothetical phenomena as telepathy, precognition, clairvoyance, and psychokinesis appear to be intangible, and people's laboratory reactions to LSD often are unpredictable. However, there are several anecdotal reports that could serve as the basis for continued exploration, especially those coming from shamans' usage of such substances as ayahuasca and their contemporary use as religious sacraments.
