bandz ahoy
On recommendation from a forum member (can't remember who, sorry) I've started reading Michael Pollan's book on psychedelics:

Here's the article he wrote for the New Yorker about using psilocybin to help terminally ill people prepare for death:

I'm only up to chapter 2 so can't comment on the book as a whole yet, but this is an area I'm very interested in, perhaps because I'd like a sort of silver bullet for my brain.
But also takes us into the area of the mystical, potentially in a way that's compatible with science.
Also relevant here is Oliver Sacks, who experimented with all sorts of drugs as a young doctor.
