Hashish Near-Death Experiences

This paper discusses contrasting opinions about hashish-induced near-death experiences (NDEs) with an early French context. "Most researchers endorsed the view of French psychiatrist Jacques Joseph Moreau that these experiences were hallucinations. Others, including spiritualist Louis-Alphonese Cahagnet, believed that hashish NDEs revealed an underlying reality as described in the works of Emanuel Swedenborg" (abstract).
