Abstract
The use of hallucinogenic drugs carries a danger which is not sufficiently recognized, namely that of prolonged adverse reactions. Among these reactions is a chronic hallucinatory state or hallucinosis which is occasionally seen after repeated drug administrations. Several characteristic cases have been reported in the literature and a further case is added here.

The striking mental changes induced by the diethylamide of lysergic acid (hereafter referred to as LSD) have been studied extensively in Europe, Great Britain and the United States and are apparently the most effective and safest agent for inducing an experimental, but reversible, psychosis in nonpsychotic subjects.

It is the impression that these hallucinogenic drugs are unique tools in the study of altered states of awareness, perception, and ideation, and the question of their therapeutic value remains unsettled since no definitive study has been reported.

Visual hallucinations appear so frequently in association with both mental and organic disease of the nervous system that it seems curious they have come to be regarded as possessing considerable localizing importance in the diagnosis of tumors of the brain.

The results of administration of lysergic acid diethylamide to various types of subjects were confirmed and in general confirmed the findings of Stoll.

Its ability to induce a "model psychosis" makes it an excellent laboratory device for the study of psychotic-like phenomena and it has also been employed as an adjunct to psychotherapy because recall of repressed memories is enhanced and ego defensiveness to conflict laden material is reduced.

The biophysical symbols of chemical events which are studied may provide some clues as to the possible mechanism by which these drugs alter the functional activity of the brain, in this and in the subsequent paper investigations of the effects of LSD on the evoked electrocortical.

It has been shown in previous studies that visual hallucinations are part of the total response to both d-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD-25) 1,2,3 and n -ethyl-3-piperidyl benzilate hydrochloride (JB 318) and that these drugs act to induce this phenomenon.

The derivative of ergot known asd-lysergic diethylamide, or LSD-25, is one of the most thoroughly studied drugs, known to have pronounced effects upon the uterus, vagina, and bronchi and to cause mydriasis, tachycardia, rise in temperature, and other autonomic effects.
