Totally anecdotal but weed had sent me to psychosis to 3 times out of the 10 smoking sessions. I did it again because everyone were, not even peer pressure, but it was so common. With LSD I didn't have any problems, quite opposite, but because I've heard weed being preached by everyone as safe miracle I don't want to go to same route with lsd. It really differs so much from person to person.

yeh, exactly this.

I've been on some pretty terrible "trips" (if you can call them that) while smoking weed. I don't know if I can call them hallucinations, but I definitely felt like I couldn't tell whether something I imagined actually happened or not and was just general confused and anxious. I mean, there have been the times where I've smoked and enjoyed it, but I now always have this lingering anxiety when I do that I might fall into that type of bad trip. This is the main reason I'm very cautious about LSD - I fear what a bad acid trip could end up like.
