Drug use and hypnotic susceptibility

International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis January 1, 1972 David Whitman van Nuys 4 citations

Male undergraduates who had used marijuana or psychedelic drugs such as LSD, mescaline, or psilocybin scored about two points higher on a standard measure of hypnotic susceptibility than those who had not used these drugs. The average difference in scores suggests a link between drug use and hypnotizability, but the authors note that further research is needed to determine whether this relationship is causal.
