During his stay, Halpern consumed peyote as part of the Church’s sacrament and conducted tests on hundreds of tribe members. The study compared the results of a basic psychological exam given to 60 Native American Church members who had used peyote over 100 times, 79 tribe members who did not use the drug, and 36 individuals with a history of alcohol abuse but little or no peyote consumption.According to Halpern’s results, frequent peyote users...
