You are right, Pigglet, as far as there being some evidence to support this. The guy says that there have been studies done that "seemed to be quite lengthy, quite detailed, thought out and researched, and very intelligent." Unfortunately, he doesn't give any support to this claim.
He did get something out of it in the beginning. But it would seem to me that drilling a hole in your skull would produce a lot of endorphins and perhaps that is what raised his awareness. Huge ammounts of natural opiates pumping through your blood can have that effect on a person. Perhaps it is true, but his consumption of pot has curbed the effects.
One never knows.
