two
subjects
recei_vd
_0
micrograms
of LSD-25
and two received 100 micrograms.
The
dr u_, was
giwm orally in 75 cc of tap water.
Five
months later a second experiment
was conducted
where the subjects were given a placebo consi,ting
of
75
cc
of tap water
unaware
only.
Since LSD-25
has no taste,
odor,
or color,
subjects
were
of the dosage they received.
At each session the subjects had eaten no
food
since the previous evening.
One half hour after the ingestion of the dru_ or placebo thev ate a light
breakfast.
Neither smoking nor stimulants,
such as coffee or tea. were allowed
during the entire testing period.
Prior to the dru_z experiment
all subjects
had participated
in placebo experiments
and two had received LSI)-2_.
Fle-
tween the drug and placebo experiments
in this study there were
.-e,,eral
other LSI)-25
sessions.
Some of the patterns of
group
com,nunication
under LSI)-25
identified
our exploratory
study were as
follows:
I. Verl_al output on the part of group members under the influence
the drug
was restricted
or shortened.
in
of
2.
In
groups
where some members had been administered
LSD-25
and
others
had not, there was a tendency
for
l_hose who had not received
the
dru_
t.
increase
their communication
outout
We ;,_terpreted thi_ t_ mean that
l
;
the individuals not under the influence of the drug made up for tile dehcw_,cy
in verbal communication of those who were.
3. When all group members were given LSD-2S there was a marked
reduction in ne_zative interpersonal responses. We suggest that disruptive
social behavior is reduced spontaneously when group members operate under
a common threat which, in our case, was the awareness of havin/z to function
socially while under the effect of LSD-25.
4. Despite the relativeh" high dosage of LSD-25 administered, the ratio
between amounts of task activity and socio-emotional activity does not differ
for the group when under condition "LSD-25," and when under conditinn
"normal." The _tabilitx of this relationship under varvinlz dosa_zes and cnn-
ditions deserves further examin:lt{on. "_Vesu_zest that the pattern of group
communicati_m seem_ lc-s imp:_/red iu tile dru_, than changes observed in
individual functionin_z had led u_ to expect.
_;. The ratio of questions to answers, as well ,is to the ratio of orientation
to evaluative responses, is higher in the group under cnndition "I,SI)-2g"
than under condition "normal."
We interpreted this as an att_'mpt on the
part of the group to restore cognitive clarity despite the
felt
impairment.
