Résumé :
This paper, a summary of a monograph prepared for the National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse, on the non-Western use of hallucinatory agents, assembles data on a dozen societies of the world where plant hallucinogens have been central to religious and healing activity. The societies have been chosen with regard to their placement along an evolutionary continuum, as well as the adequacy of available data on drug use. The paper delineates themes common to many drug-using societies, especially insofar as cultural variables such as belief systems, values, expectations and attitudes contribute to the structuring of one of the most subjective experiences available to scientific inquiry.
