Thanks, Oro13, for actual answering his question. He probably read Dead's reply, walked away shaking his head, never to return his goofer dusted mind.
Actually, I would say there is hypnotism in the film, it's just not the Hollywood "watch this swinging pendant", or the 'lay on the couch with a psychiatrist' type. It's drug induced suggestion, and "conscience" suggestion targeting the subconscious, by the voodoo dude.
