Abstract: MEDBIJO 705 if the subject has an intercurrent infection or has taken alcohol or other drugs.Prolonged unconsciousness also results from taking mixtures of tranquillizers and hypnotic drugs when alcohol or dexamphetamine or barbiturates are ingredients.I agree with Dr. H. J. S. Matthew (10 February, p. 380) that the evidence is extremely confusing.It would be interesting to know if people who have given L.S.D.-25 therapeutically have ever encountered prolonged coma.The first case of chronic psychosis following therapeutic L.S.D.-25 which I ever saw was a man who later died of leukaemia.This has given me much food for thought in the light of the present research on chromosomal aberrations after L.S.D.-25, and might be worth pursuing.I am, etc., London W.2.
