Didn't Stan Grof do some experimentation with LSD and the mentally ill
back in the 70s?  I know he tried to re-classify LSD as a
psychotomimetic drug, for its apparently psychotic manifestations in
some folks.  Also, Mark Vonnegut, Kurt's kid, wrote a book about his
experience of moving through drugs and into a full-blown manifestation
of paranoid schizophrenia.  Interesting depth of recall, as I
remember.
