Leo E. Hollister (December 3, 1920 - December 19, 2000) was an American professor emeritus of medicine, psychiatry and pharmacology.

Work on hallucinogens

L. E. Hollister's criteria for establishing that a drug is hallucinogenic are as follows:

  • in proportion to other effects, changes in thought, perception, and mood should predominate;
  • intellectual or memory impairment should be minimal;
  • stupor, narcosis, or excessive stimulation should not be an integral effect;
  • autonomic nervous system side effects should be minimal; and
  • addictive craving should be absent.
