After we see “mental illness increased when lsd, magic mushrooms and MDMA are legalized”

These drugs have huge potential to mess up a person’s brain if not taken with caution and under direct supervision of experts.

It’s definitely theoretically possible but having been pretty involved in the scene I’ve only ever seen LSD, shrooms, and other classic psychs bring out psychosis/schizophrenia in people who were probably going to develop it anyway (or at least were pre disposed). This was around college age when schizophrenia usually emerges. In general they don’t seem to cause mental illness in people who weren’t already pre disposed. (Obviously this does not mean psychs should not be treated with enormous respect)

I’ve seen a lot of people get low-grade cognitive dysfunction from mdma abuse (neurotoxicity due to “doing it wrong” ie overheating/overdosing), and while not in the class of drugs we’ve been discussing I’ve seen xanax ruin more lives than any other drug by far

You really need to abuse for a super long time some lsd to be messed up. I know a wide bunch of people in the party scene who absolutely abuse MDMA but they dont have more mental illness than the avetage smoker
