3118.13 Cross cultural comparison <strong>of</strong> values and beliefs in illegal drug users, Michael Lyvers,<br />

Michael Lerner, Bond University, Australia<br />

Psychedelic drug users (n=88) were compared to users <strong>of</strong> other illegal drugs (n=29) and to<br />

non-drug-users (n=66) on questionnaire measures <strong>of</strong> life values, spiritual beliefs, and empathy.<br />

Groups included subgroups from Israel and Australia. In both countries psychedelic users scored<br />

significantly higher on values such as spirituality, mysticism, empathy, and concern for the<br />

environment, and lower on financial prosperity, compared to users <strong>of</strong> other illegal drugs and<br />

non-drug controls. This is consistent with previous research suggesting that psychedelic drugs can<br />

trigger a mystical experience that may induce specific changes in values and beliefs that can<br />

override traditional cultural influences.<br />
