I believe it.

When I was a young man, I experimented with drugs on occasion. I eventually got past the stupid "this is fun" phase, and quit drugging and drinking before I ended up like the people I knew who did it too much.

But, there were a few years where I'd still do hallucinogens on occasion when I was facing a serious life problem I couldn't see my way past, because a heavy dose would completely change my perspective on life for some days or weeks afterwards. It was like I was making new sensory or rational connections that I didn't see before, and it had a strong effect on the man I became.

I don't know if I'd recommend that route for dealing with problems, but the findings in this article don't surprise me at all.
