Abstract
A modern science ethics committee would not have been amused by Heinrich Kluver, an ex-patriot German psychologist looking exactly like you would expect from an ex-patriot German psychologist, with Freudian glasses and overdone eyebrows. In the 1920s he administered mescaline, the hallucinogenic substance in the peyote cactus, both to himself and to a large number of volunteers. Peyote was traditionally used by American indigenous people in shamanistic practice, and was made famous by the book “The Doors of Perception” by Aldous Huxley.
