Work on hallucinogens

L. E. Hollister's criteria for establishing that a drug is hallucinogenic are as follows:^[3]

in proportion to other effects, changes in thought, perception, and mood should predominate;
intellectual or memory impairment should be minimal;
stupor, narcosis, or excessive stimulation should not be an integral effect;
autonomic nervous system side effects should be minimal; and
addictive craving should be absent.
