Abstract

There is ample data available to indicate that psychedelic ESP (telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition) experiences are quite prevalent. Surveys consistently indicate those reporting ESP experiences are significantly more likely to have used psychedelic substances, with more frequent use associated with a greater likelihood of an experience. With regard to controlled research on the efficacy of psychedelics to induce ESP, there have been only 17 separately published experimental projects that have been conducted, mostly in the 1950-70s. Overall, few firm conclusions can be drawn concerning the induction of genuine ESP with psychedelics from those studies because of the lack of systematically controlled experiments, although, at best, the results suggest a promising line of enquiry. After a long hiatus research is now resuming with better methodology and this paper reports on 4 recent experiments by the author/speaker exploring precognition in controlled experiments following the ingestion of a psychedelic agent, specifically ayahuasca (N=20), 2 x San Pedro cactus (N=1, N= 14) and LSD (N=13).
