I just did a nationwide survey of over 6,000 people to measure how many adults in the U.S. have had a mystical experience after taking drugs.
It seems about 8 in 1,000 adults have had a drug-related mystical experience. For comparison, that's about how common it is to be Buddhist in the U.S.
As an experiment in open science, I've put the raw data and a summary manuscript on github. Anyone interested can download the data -- and even publish an analysis if they find anything cool. I wrote a piece on medium giving an overview of the project and some background on prior research.
