Oscar Janiger, a pioneering Los Angeles psychiatrist best known for "turning on" Hollywood celebrities and well-known literary figures to LSD in the 1950s, died Tuesday of kidney and heart failure at Little Company of Mary Hospital in Torrance. He was 83.A maverick of the mind, "Oz," as he was known to friends and associates, was one of the first American researchers to study the psychedelic drugs DMT and LSD. He was especially interested in LSD's link to creativity and artists' ability to access a state of crazy consciousness without losing control of their surroundings.
