Yes, ladies and gentlemen, if sin means anything at all, it means being off the mark by not knowing what the meaning of LSD is and repentance is getting back in touch with the meaning of LSD. I say getting back in touch, not getting in touch because getting in touch implies never having been in touch before and that's incorrect. As mentioned earlier, we were all conceived in orgasm and born tripping. That's our natural state. Over the years, due to the pressure of social conditioning, we lose the tripping state. There is a great need for everyone to get that back. Sin is losing the tripping state. If one loses the tripping state, they don't even believe that there is such a thing. Repentance is not only believing but experiencing it again, getting it all back and knowing it. LSD can do that for you.

Like with everything else in this book, you can accept that or reject it, but if Jesus was here today, he would be in favor of LSD. The ignorant authorities would unjustly throw him into jail just like they did to Timothy Leary.

You have read what I think and what people like Timothy Leary, Aldous Huxley, Alan Watts, Stanislav Grof and others think about LSD. Let's see what 462 ordinary, nameless people have to say. In the earlier 1960's, there were 4 different studies in which volunteers were given LSD or psilocybin and the people answered questions about the experience and its after-effects. All of the information on this comes from pages 13-21 of The Psychedelic Reader, edited by Leary, Metzner and G. Weil.

The 4 studies are referred to as the Ditman study, the Savage study, the Janiger study and the Leary study, named for people involved in each one. Ditman had 74 subjects who took LSD, Savage had 96 who took LSD, Janiger had 194 who took LSD and Leary had 98 who took psilocybin. For the Ditman and Leary studies, it doesn't say if their people had taken the drug before. In the Savage study, all of the people had tried LSD before and in the Janiger study, most, if not all, had tried it before.

In all 4 studies, the conditions and the preparation of the people were reasonably good and as you look at the figures coming up, they are quite impressive. The results of the Ditman and Janiger studies weren't as good as the other 2. In the case of Ditman, it says that the subjects "underwent the experience in a darkened room, and were allowed various sensory stimuli such as music, paintings and exposure to sunlight in a garden setting". The opinion here is that there's no reason to restrict the experience to a darkened room, even if, at times, they were "allowed" out of the room. There shouldn't be any restrictions. In the case of Janiger, 73 of the 194 subjects were undergoing psychotherapy and for them, there was some emphasis on that factor. Those 73 people are lumped with the other 121 in that study so that it isn't known if the figures for the 73 are greatly different from those of the other 121. The people in the Savage and Leary studies were better prepared and therefore the results are better.

Let's check out the results. The questions asked were not identical in all 4 studies, but there is some overlap, especially with the Ditman and Savage studies. The first chart is how people in those 2 studies responded to the question, "Looking back on your LSD experience, how does it look to you now?" The numbers will be the percentage of people who responded, "quite a bit" or "very much".
