LSD, hypnosis and the Catholic Church


I found this interesting snippet, among many interesting snippets, on p194 of David Healy's book The Creation of Psychopharmacology (ISBN 0674015991), a history of the science and medicine of psychiatric drug development.

It discusses the similarities between the reaction of the authorities to LSD in the 1960s and the reaction to hypnotism in the 18th and 19th centuries.
