I can't see this being terribly surprising for anyone who has ever used psychedelics like psilocybin or LSD in a controlled, enjoyable environment.
Occasional use generates not only an ability to step "outside" and view yourself and your bad habits in a different light, but also provides a sense of "connection" to everything else in the universe.
My own experience has shown me to be a more patient, focused, and overall very happy person with very low use (one to two times a year).
Not only that, but it is not addictive... in fact, the body builds an immediate tolerance to the substance, lasting several days.
It is ridiculous to me that all illegal substances are treated equally.
