... psychomagnifiers
'The impact of these psychomaginfiers for psychology and education is parallel to the impact of the microscope on biology and medicine. The most important of these is LSD. While most drugs produce a more or less standard effect, LSD and the other psychedelics magnify perceptions of what is already going on in the mind, our cognitions. Because this amplification was not understood in the 1960s, the information lawmakers had about psychedelics was misleading, confusing, and incorrect, but our laws have not been updated to reflect scientific reality. In the politically charged atmosphere of the Vietnam War, racial unrest, and cultural revolution, it was easy to rationalize the political decision to outlaw these drugs as a public health decision. (...) Evidance about the nature of the human mind may be the most significant information possible. Just as the magifying power of the microscope made modern biology and medicine possible, the magnifying power of psychedelics offers to advance psychology and education into hitherto undreamed of realms.'    (Thomas B. Roberts in 'Entheogens and the Future of Religion')
... freedom of religion
'Unitive consciousness - mystical experience. A major change in the Western psychology or religion during the last two decades is ignored by current drug laws. This is the reevaluation of states of unitive consciousness. While this change is centered in the overlap among religion, psychology, and general culture, it also concerns areas of the arts, psychotherapy, anthropology, and related fields. In Western thought states of unitive consciousness are also known as mystical experiences, peak experiences, conversion states, intense religious experiences, cosmic consciousness, ego-transcendence, and transcendent experiences. They also have a host of names in Eastern thought such as samadhi, satori, enlightenment, illumination, and so forth. Until the 1960's these states were generally considered to be evidance of neurosis or psychosis, and this error persists among professionals and laymen who are not familiar with the empirical research on them. Because some psychoactive drugs and other mindbody psychotechnologies can produce these states, they were erroniously thought to be psychologically damaging, and this is reflected in our current drug policies.'    (Thomas B. Roberts in 'Entheogens and the Future of Religion') 
... consciousness research
'I see psychedelics as one of the most fruitful areas of modern consciouness research. I would not be surprised if at some point there comes to be a useful marriage between some of these drugs and a systematic training or practice that I have described. That marriage will have to be based on an understanding of the ancient teachings, the laws of karma, responsibility, action, virtue, training the heart and the mind, and the laws of liberation.'    (Jack Kornfield in 'Entheogens and the Future of Religion')
