Mushrooms are fun, study shows

Holy shit! Psilocybin Mushrooms scientifically proven to give spiritual experience and increase long-term sense of well-being! Who knew??!?Twenty-two of the 36 volunteers reported having a "complete" mystical experience... That experience included such things as a sense of pure awareness and a merging with ultimate reality, a transcendence of time and space, a feeling of sacredness or awe, and deeply felt positive mood like joy, peace and love. People say 'they can't possibly put it into words,' Griffiths said.
Ahh, the wonders of science. "Even two months after taking the drug, pronounced SILL-oh-SY-bin, most of the volunteers said the experience had changed them in beneficial ways, such as making them more compassionate, loving, optimistic and patient." Now that's a shocker, it's not like people have been preaching this for decades now, or anything.

This all sounds like publicity-stunt science, but hey, at least it might lubricate the anti-prohibition movement.
