Sacred Journey Post 10: Personal Topic

For proof that psychedelics are spiritual you can look to two different Harvard studies with psilocybin, the active ingredient in "magic" mushrooms. The first was the “Good Friday Experiment” carried out by Walter Pahnke in 1962, the second was a study on the long-term effects of psilocybin by Roland Griffiths in 2006. Both of these experiments and long-term follow-ups demonstrate that in the proper setting psilocybin has spiritual effects with positive benefits that may last a lifetime. the idea that spirituality can be simulated in a lab with psychedelics reaffirms my stance that spirituality ultimately comes from within each of us.
