Researchers at Johns Hopkins University and New York University are looking for religious and spiritual leaders to take psychoactive psilocybin mushrooms in a controlled setting, so scientists can document and study what these people experience while tripping on magic mushrooms.

“The question for us is: What are these experiences like for people in the clergy who have taken, in some cases, religious vows, and whose professions are focused on supporting others in their own spiritual quest?” said Roland Griffiths, a professor of psychiatry and neuroscience at Johns Hopkins Medicine and the study’s lead author.
