Lots of these patterns (particularly spirals, zig zags and chevrons) appear in the edges of message pads when people doodle while on the phone/in meetings. I'm not sure that most of the people are taking hallucinogens at work (I could be wrong), so isn't an equally plausible explanation that these are the sort of patterns people make when decorating things?

I drink an awful lot of machine coffee and was listening to Galaxie 500 today, it's sort of the same.

And well done to our level headed TMA Ed. ;)

and why do people decorate things?, the images seem deep rooted into the brain itself, people "tranced" out doodling do the same designs, people see the same designs with migraines, from fasting and meditation and when your trippin, which do you think they were doing at the great stone circles and chambered cairns??? do it at the sites and then you'll know yourself...

Children do exactly the same thing . If you look at drawings made by people when stoned o nthe non synthetic drugs likely to be found in the period ,if used , there is a huge variety of motifs , unlike what is found in pasage grave and rock art .
