Mitch Altman makes a number of interesting and fun home hackable kits... one of the more popular items of his are "Trip Glasses"... here's a brief bit of footage concerning how well they work to let your mind zone out and drift away from the stresses of the world around you.

I just got a pair of these today. You dont really "trip" per say. The light that flashes is only red, but you see green, blue, yellow, white, ect... And some geometric patterns occur. But they dont make you feel like acid or mushrooms or anything like that. There are no 3D visuals. They are still kinda cool. Would be better on acid. But then again, what isn't?

thinkgeek says "The built-in LEDs will flash in sequences that your brain will naturally try to interpret, resulting in various beautiful patterns produced by your own mind."
