The use of hallucinogenic drugs carries a danger which is not sufficiently recognized, namely that of prolonged adverse reactions. Among these reactions is a chronic hallucinatory state or hallucinosis which is occasionally seen after repeated drug administrations. Several characteristic cases have been reported in the literature and a further case is added here.
