Definitely not the case for the people I know. One trip caused permanent psychosis in one case.

who what why when where how

ever notice how all these stories lack that?

all?

look, don’t respond to why that might be, but lets just all push for the study and a legal framework that allows for said studies to exist

> F16.5 hallucinogens (LSD and others)[citation needed]

no studies found.

I'm not sure what this is responding to. The prior comments were asking about details around potential permanent psychiatric issues. There's some stuff in here about psychosis turning into schizophrenia, etc. It's rare, but we also can't dismiss it.
Popping the stack a few frames, this particular thread is about “people whose minds were ruined by psychedelics.”
Perhaps they were susceptible to it, then. Permanent psychosis though? Is that really a thing?
Yes, it is. Psychotic disorders aren't pretty and they're often permanent. They can go into remission, though.
