 Hallucinate Without Losing Your Mind Now you can hallucinate without losing your mind with the Virtual Insanity Machine. Developed for health care professional and law enforcement agents, this innovative device allows you to experience what a schizophrenic experience a psychotic episode goes through. It has real value as a teaching aid. It’s street value might be even higher!  It's literally impossible for a healthy person to understand what's going on in the mind of a schizophrenic, but a new training device offers the opportunity to experience a simulation of the hallucinatory episodes that a person undergoing a schizophrenic episode can experience. Although initially designed with the purpose of encouraging greater empathy in professionals who work with the mentally ill, I can't help but wonder how long it will be before this sort of hardware makes it to street-level and gets repurposed as a form of recreation.
