Does hypnosis work when you're high?!

Unfortunately I have no journal article, only experience.

I had attempted to be hypnotized twice with no success about a year ago. Shortly after, I went to another hypnosis show while ripped and was successfully (and deeply) hypnotized. Ever since I have never failed to be hypnotized. Hope that helps.

Entering hypnosis requires an ability to concentrate. Anything that impairs that won't help the process. I'd also strongly recommend against being hypnotized while under the influence of mind affecting substances (except where prescribed by your doctor). The hypnotist needs to anticipate your responses to what is being said, and if they aren't normal there could be problems.

Usually, yes.
