Can you cite anything that shows these drugs drive you insane with regular use. That sounds like mythology.
I've seen a friend of mine going deeper and deeper into that hole.
He's asked for evidence and you've responded with a claim. Do you have any evidence to back this claim up?

This is an anecdote. It does not constitute scientific evidence.
Here's a bunch of real people suffering from it: https://old.reddit.com/r/HPPD
You can definitely overdo psychedelics and fuck up your mind if you are careless with them. Maybe read up a bit on erowid, dmtnexus, shroomery, plenty of warnings from people who went to deep. Don't be stupid and naive.
Microdosing may seem harmless, but it also means taking psychedelics every day for long periods. I wouldn't do more than 2 weeks, you gotta have to function without the drug at some point, can't imagine dosing LSD for a year and then stopping will be pleasant. But your mileage might vary... I just have way to much respect for psychedelics to take them every day.
I had mental issues afterwards largely in line with those I had beforehand.
there you go, fwiw
Take a drive down skid row. Or look at Haight-Ashbury in the 70's.
If you've done any psychedelics you would be foolish to not notice that they can drive a person insane under the right circumstances.
And no I wasn't talking about "drugs" I was talking about psychedelics and their targeted use/dosage. I made the counter claim to provide evidence that psychedelics cause permanent psychosis. No one seems to be able to produce such evidence, and your point of casually linking homelessness to drug use may be all fine in a grand sense but with respect to the topic at hand it just looks like a red herring.
That's not to say that microdosing can't be useful. But I think it's possibly quite dangerous for some people. My evidence of that is knowing people who have done too much acid, and meeting plenty of street people in Haight-Ashbury who do acid.
