Something I think is interesting to think about is how much of an effect in past history have drugs had on "religious" experiences and ceremonies? When you hear people talk about "visions" and "prophecies" are they talking about a completely sober experience? Has anyone here looked into drug use in religion?
I find that topic very interesting.

There was a LOT of drugs used in religion.
From the early days where using small amounts of snake venom to induce a paranormal event, to more modern days where drugs like Peyote were used in countries like Mexico.
Various kinds of Herbs have been and are still used in different religous establishments.
Brain washing is still the method of choice though.
