Extension circa 2021

[edit]

Interesting to note that as technology improves it may be necessary for the Act to include virtual reality (VR) and other such interventions such as binaural tones especially if they use direct neural feedback through sensors as the risk of misuse (eg for an acid trip simulation) is present. It is unclear if non-pharmaceutical methods of altering mental state of this type would fall under the definition of the Act as originally intended however.
