text: 4) To counter claims that these studies of creativity were all poorly designed, I cite McGlothlin et al (1967, Arch Gen Psychiatry), this was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with 70 male graduate students (most had no prior interest in LSD), published in a top-ranked psychiatry journal, 24 volunteers received 1-3 doses of 200ug LSD, and 46 received active placebo (amphetamine or 25ug LSD), tested at 2 weeks and 6 months there was no clear effect on standardized tests of creativity or aesthetic appreciation, however, there was a very strong effect on the volunteers reports of the six months after the experiment: "greater appreciation of music" (62% LSD v. 6.5% control), "greater appreciation of art" (46% v. 2%), "bought more records" (42% v. 8.5%), "spent more time in museums" (50% v. 24%), "attended more musical events" (42% v. 9%) - thus there is a strong indication (not proof) from the McGlothlin 1967 study that LSD can have a long-term effect on enjoyment of beauty.
