In the early days of research with hallucinogens, especially LSD, they were administered to schizophrenics. As I recall the research findings (I could look it up, but my source is not at hand)the schizophrenics reported that the experiences were interesting but not like schizophrenia. If one thinks about it, the differences are striking: LSD and drugs like it produce visual not auditory (usually) hallucinations and schizophrenics typically have auditory not visual hallucinations. There is little thought disorder with LSD, no looses associations, mutism etc. In fact, most researcher dislike the term hallucinogen, because these drugs produce perceptual distortions not true hallucinations.
