I personally heard of someone permanently damaged by an LSD experiment. A family member of a friend of my fathers.
Permanent headcase with antipsychotics.
I urge you not to do this.

So he's on antipsychotics because of the LSD?
I wonder if thats what happened to me? I took a lot in my teens. Never got mental right away, took a few years of being off it.

Generally psychedelics will cause eruptions of mental symptoms in those predisposed to them. Generally if you have everyone on the earth a trial of a psychadelic most would not become psychotic. With that being said, most people who use this are doing so because of having a mental illness. Mental illness is a huge predictor for more mental illness(or mental instability) so taking a psychadelic to treat a mental illness is extremly risky.
There are reports of lsd being very helpful for addictions, ocd and depression, but as you have said it can also erupt psychotic symptoms or severly worsen anxiety that is latent. Overall, there are much less risky ways to acheive similar effects/benifits. And if those treatment shave failed to produce a response (such as ssris or remeron nefazodine) chances are psychedelics(as in tryptimines like lsd peyote psylocibin) will not have any different mechanism of action than the aforementioned drugs.

I think its interesting how we forget about the LSD casualties of the 60s and 70s. Not just as urban myth......anyway, I think psychedelics are probably riskier than a lot of other treatments, personally. I wish they'd bring back drug facilitated therapy, then they could find out what sort of patients would benefit, who would be harmed, stuff like that.

i heard somewhere that LSD stays in the spinal cord, or somewhere in the body, even after it's out of the system, and like.....you can have another trip, or a permenant trip....which is why i would never do acid.....
im my opinion, my drive is to feel pleasure, but feel in control, i don't like feeling unable to control things, which is ... kinda what like right now......i've taken hydrocodone and oxycountin one time, they just feel like since of feeling good and in good spirits, warm and not depressed, but opiates are not my thing.....mainly mine is the methamp, i feel in control and can think clearly.....
but acid some people are in to that.....they like that altered, mystical feeling of feeling another reality.....same thing with that ketamine
