Art by psychiatric patients on LSD

Psymon.com features some interesting artwork created by patients who had been dosed with LSD, as reproduced from the book LSD Psychotherapy by Stanislav Grof MD. It's kind of surprising how varied the art styles are, from the psychedelic, trippy stuff you'd expect to crabby little cartoons depicting the dispensing physician as a "nosy detective with a large pipe".

Seen below: "A patient's representation of the dynamic and colorful displays of ornamental patterns which characterize the early stage in a psychedelic session."
