LSD doctor dies at 83
Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Oscar Janiger, a Hollywood psychiatrist who introduced scores of artists,
intellectuals and elite members of America's entertainment community to the
psychedelic drug LSD, has died at the age of 83.
In the 1950s and early 60s, before LSD was declared illegal, Dr Janiger was
one of the first researchers to probe the drug's potential for enhancing
intellect and creativity.
He incorporated the drug into his therapy and handed it out to an estimated
1,000 volunteers, including novelists Anais Nin and Aldous Huxley and actors
Cary Grant and Jack Nicholson.
Some of his patients also took part in a creativity experiment in which he
asked them to paint or draw the same object before taking the LSD and then
again one hour after taking it.
