'Magic Mushroom' Drug Study Probes Science, Spirituality

Volunteers who tried the hallucinogenic ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms during a controlled study funded by the U.S. government had "mystical" experiences, and many of them still felt unusually happy months later.

According to the Baltimore team, nearly two-thirds of thevolunteers said they achieved a "mystical experience"with "substantial personal meaning." One-third rated thepsilocybin experience as "the single most spirituallysignificant experience of his or her life," and another 38percent placed the experience among their "top five" mostspiritually significant moments.

Most also said they became better, gentler people in thefollowing two months. "We don't think that'sdelusional, because we also interviewed family members and friendsby telephone, and they confirmed these kinds of claims,"Griffiths said.

heh, i just found another article about the study. It's from China and involves the word "magic."
