Psychedelia.

The ultimate benefit of the psychedelic experience is the observation of phenomena that would normally go unnoticed. By no means do I espouse the notion that psychedelics endow their users with any knowledge or abilities they would not have otherwise possessed, but the insight one gains by simple awareness is unrivaled. The brief bout of analytical thought that can be induced by the consumption of psychedelic substances can bring a relevance to the mundane that one can easily recall for long periods of time afterward. And that is ultimately the means by which occasional psychedelic drug use alter ones perception of the world: Insight into the workings of the unextraordinary in order to better understand the extraordinary.
