Besides the promising potential for continued research into the beneficial effects of entheogens, the relationship between psychoactive drugs and mystical experience provokes a return to old questions. Within the psychology of religion, what meaning do we make about the nature of entheogens? Ralph W. Hood, Jr., points out the “question of veridicality” that continues to accompany “chemically facilitated mysticism.” What does it mean to take a pill to induce a mystical experience – is it still authentic? Are patients glimpsing other dimensions of reality? Does the noetic quality of the induced mystical experiences point us to something “more” than just the consequences, mechanisms, and architecture of the mind?
