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 ( Read more... )

I heard about this study from a friend and would have read your link -- but the wording preempted me. "Scientifically proven": what does that mean with respect to spirituality? or, "well-being"?

You should lighten up a bit. My entire post intended to be sarcastic in that I find it hilarious that they have to do "studies" to show that doing psychadelic drugs can give one a profound emotional/spiritual experience when this has been known by people who have done them since the beginning of time.

wow, really?
I love that someone had to measure this.
Let's just say I'm going to try and get away with similar stuff when i have the credentials.

Yeah. Like I said, I think it was mostly a publicity stunt by some scientist to help the push for legalization. I'm not complaining at all, though, I would probably do the same if I was a tenured medical researcher...
