"Has someone that thought they were taking LSD ever turned into a permanent schizophrenic zombie or in a mental institution, or is it all urban legend."

Tangential, and not an answer to your question, but if you're like me, you will be fascinated to learn that there is a drug (MPPP, synthetic opiate) that if cooked incorrectly yields "MPTP"[1] which will give you Parkinsons. As in, forever. You take this drug (at any age) and then you have Parkinsons for the rest of your life.

so therefore it stands to reason that other substances can exist that rewrite your mind to make you ineffective at other behaviors


I mean, not really.

1. There is one substance that rewrites your mind.

2. There is more than one substance that rewrites your mind.

Are very different postulates.


1 opens the existence of 2 as possible
