“Under the influence of both Hubbard and Huxley, whose primary interest was in the revelatory import of pschedelics, Osmond abandoned the psychotomimetic model. It was Hubbard who first proposed to him that the mystical experience many subjects had on a single high dose of mescaline or LSD might itself be harnessed as a mode of therapy and that the experience was more important than the chemical. The psychedelic experience could, like the conversion experience, forcibly show people a new, more encompassing perspective on their lives that would help them to change.”
