Nothing delights me like the completely inappropriate application of old technology to new. This, then, is the Coolest Thing Ever.
Also, from the "Well Duh" department, People report mystical experiences in psilocybin study. Actually, I shouldn't mock. The important thing here is not that people reported mystical experiences, or that they reported being happier and kinder following a psychedelic experience (which should be obvious to anyone who's ever had a psychedelic experience), but that there was a study at all about psilocybin, and that it had positive results, and those reports were covered at all in the media. Go, that.
