LSD-25 (D-lysergic acid diethylamide) induces extraordinary psychic symptoms, first noted by A. Hofmann and later discussed phenomenologically by W. A. Stoll and G. Condrau. Numerous studies have followed, but there is no general agreement on interpreting the so-called LSD-psychosis. Some researchers inferred that a chemical substance might cause schizophrenia, yet LSD symptoms cannot have a necessary relationship to schizophrenia because they vary according to subjects and dosage, among other factors. The effect of LSD on humans is too variable to permit identification with schizophrenia.
