i post this for a start
Osho and Psychedelics
What was really going on with Osho and psychedelics?
Was he addicted to nitrous oxide – and, if so, is its daily use compatible with enlightenment? Or was the nitrous oxide a quasi-Gurdjieffian device? Was he deliberately sabotaging any future public relations image of himself? Or, on the contrary, was he suggesting psychedelics could prove a valuable tool for large-scale awakening? Or was this aspect of his leela a mixture of all of these?
One of the most striking features of the whole controversy is that we only know Osho took nitrous oxide because he publicised the fact himself. The first expose of Osho's apparent addiction was by the disaffected disciple Hugh Milne in his book Bhagwan: the God that Failed. There Milne tells how he was invited to photograph one of Osho's 'dental sessions' at the Ranch. Mystified he turned up to find Osho sitting in a dentist's chair with two tubes, one of oxygen and one of nitrogen, stuck up his nose, sort of lecturing (v. Milne, Bhagwan: the God that Failed, pp. 230-232). Horrified he took his pics and fled from the trailer. In his book he makes out that this was some guilty secret he, Milne, had uncovered– brushing over the fact the only reason he knew about it was because Osho had gone out of his way to tell him.
