In this link you may find the evolution of the drawings made by an artist under the effects of LSD, during 8 hours. It is quite interesting how it shows what I consider is the intended evolution of every artist: from detailed drawings to the most simplified ones, even passing by an "abstract" phase.
It may be of interest:

Interesting indeed.

Abstract to the observer but not to the artist; Kandinsky stated that pure abstraction doesn't exist, as everything perceived (and potentially rendered) has some meaning. In the case of being under the influence of a powerful pyschotropic, perception becomes something beyond the realm of ordinary reality. The Yaqui Indian sorcerer, don Jaun Matus, called this "non-ordinary reality".
Thanks for posting the link - very cool.

Very interesting. I must say that the 2 hours and 45 minute piece is the one that grips me the most.

Yes interesting. But I thought the drawings would be more consistent  . Doesn�t it also depend a lot on the artist�s personality? Maybe he could�ve put more effort into every drawing to express really what he was seeing (or feeling, however you wanna put it).

Well, I think that the most abstract of them express quite well what he was feeling... In fact I think it is quite "consistent"

I guess you're right, now that i looked more into them, drawings 6, 7 and 8 are really nice and have a lot fo style. I take back what i've said earlier.

Sorry Styles! I didn't read it at that time. Well, maybe it is good for those who couldn't see it *months ago*
Again, sorry for the intrusion in your link
