I too believe that controlled scientific studies would be difficult to carry out, dificult to document and dificult to interperet. So much depends on the individual taking the drug.
The experience seems to be as different as the individual.I know first hand of people who have had wonderfull, insightfull, spirtual like experiences
which could have been expounded upon in the proper setting with the help of a trusted professional. I have also known people who commited suicide while taking hallucinogens.
