I knew a guy who was diagnosed schizophrenic after acid
Man I've met a shit tone of crazy people over the years, even dated a few (ahhh goood times). Some did a fuck ton of drugs, some never touched the shit. I don't think any of that for the most part has to do with doing drugs, other than people who really abuse the fuck out of serious ones, and even then...
I remember back in the day I was in toastmasters, which was this public speaking club of sorts. We had this guy come in once and tell us how when he was a little kid they forced him to go to the dentist. He was scared shitless and didn't want them to drill his teeth, but of course they did anyways.
Now that incident fucked him up so much it apparently gave him multiple personality disorder. He even broke out in tears as hes going on about the whole fucking ordeal. I get he was scared. I fucking hate the dentist, like really fucking hate it...even if I had the funds I'd probably rather just get my teeth all busted out so I wouldn't have to deal with them...
That being said, despite me getting my teeth drilled as a kid I didn't develop schizophrenia, or multiple personality disorder...well okay maybe Wizehop, but other than him I'm fine.
People like to look for any kind of excuse as to why there fucked up other than there just fucked up. (I don't think anyone is fucked up but that's a whole other topic)
Obviously everything we do in life effects us in one way or another. Any experience we have, whether through drugs or just witnessing something crazy, effects our brains chemically. You don't need to take drugs to fuck your head up, And just because you take drugs doesn't mean you will fuck up your head.
At the end of the day we are just chemical beings governed by the chemicals that run through our body. Really its the reason we turn to Advil and not prayer when we have a bad headache from drinking too much wine, which I will have in the AM.
Some people are always fucking happy cause they got the right chemicals pumping around in there naturally, and others want to slit there wrists even when their around freight trains.....all through natural chemical productions in the brain.
Come to think of it my buddies mom killed herself by walking in front of a freight in our home town when we were is high school.
Anyhow I'm not saying LSD is necessarily good for you (been good to me though), but I am sayin out of them all it ain't so bad, and at the end of the day there is so much that could fuck you up anyhow.
only reason i ask is because i cant trip anymore, i mean the effect still hits me but im a fucking vegetable if i drop
Now this not getting high business I bet has more to do with what your getting. Problem with LSD is most of the time you don't know what your getting unless you get it from the source...and who the fuck is making LSD these days?
Come to think of it I miss that shit!!
