Psychosis or Gnosis?

Therapeutic studies in the 1950S opened up new areas of investigation for a growing

number of young psychiatrists. A particularly promising avenue of inquiry involved

using LSD as a tool to explore the creative attributes of the mind. Dr. Oscar Janiger

(the first person in the US to conduct a clinical investigation of DMT, or

dimethyltryptamine, an extremely powerful short-acting psychedelic) noted that

many of his patients reported vivid aesthetic perceptions frequently leading to a

greater appreciation of the arts. One of his subjects claimed that a single acid trip

was equal to "four years in art school" and urged Janiger to give the drug to other

artists. <i>Acid Dreams</i> p. 61 Marty Lee</p>
