Could tripping on acid help cancer patients?

Today I found a nice pro psychedelic story on a local TV news broadcast:

Derek Valcourt looks at how drugs long considered illegal could be the key to spiritual enlightenment.

You've heard about medicinal marijuana, but what about medical magic mushrooms and even medical LSD?

"And I felt like I was being taken now onto a journey," said Sandy Lundahl.

Where Lundahl went was the result of a hallucination and part of medical research done by Dr. Roland Griffiths from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. The research examines whether drugs that cause hallucinations could actually help cancer patients.

"This is not a cure for cancer, but it is an intervention that back in the '60s people found very helpful for terminal cancer patients," Griffiths said.

Go Roland!

I agree with April, the insight into yourself
is greater under psychedelics and it can give the patient more
courage to know that there is more to reality than meets the eye.

Dear god, that entire graphics department is full of acid heads. I just sat here stoned going "woaaah" to the imagery, and grovin to the pipe music.

Of course the news does not report it correctly. It's not that LSD causes hallucinations... how would that help a cancer patient?? It's that it causes deep introspection and cosmic understanding (in the right setting/circumstance).
