It bugs me when people think "hallucinations" are like seeing leprachauns and dragons that you can interact with and talk too. Like this narrator saying "The cats chase imaginary mice" First off if they trip balls like human i call bullshit, and secondly how the fuck does he know what cats perceive again calling bullshit.
Anyway sorry for my little annoyance rant.

That is my new favorite video! Thanks for sharing that, so funny!
-------------------- In ancient times, when demons roamed with man, They hunted, loved and lost, hand in hand, As time went on, the difference between them faded. You couldn't tell anymore, demons and man were related, and some would say the same, but who would like to claim? In time, Gods had even forgot, Demons, too, once love had sought. In times recent I remember, Once I was a man, In my heart I had an ember, I'll relate the best I can but it was snuffed, one distant December. And yet here I stand, no flesh, no bones, no seed or semen, All that's left is this Demon.

The only way I might buy into this is if there were no barriers to consuming the drugs (acquiring them, social interaction, understanding how to consume them, etc).

I think a 'safe manor' would be an awesome place to trip. Out in the Irish countryside maybe. I agree that the 'weather' would play an important role as well.
-------------------- There are more people imprisoned for the commission of drug offenses in the United States - close to 500,000 - than are incarcerated in England, France, Germany, and Japan for all crimes combined. Examined in another way, the United States has 100,000 more people incarcerated for nonviolent drug offenses than all the countries of the European Union combined, despite the fact that the European Union has 100 million more citizens.

Oh and I don't like intellectual masturbation and elitism...as far as I've seen I'm the only smart guy that uses drugs so that's why I don't believe in this study...
How the hell do you know its elitism? You read a 4 paragraph long article about an obviously deeper and more complicated academic journal.
I am just sayin'....how you gonna judge an academic / scientific study off of what some d bag jot's down as notes worthy for their article? 
THE ACTUAL STUDY sounds like it could be both very cool / interesting, and a novel way of looking at the often stigmatized "use" of drugs :-p
