College girlfriend of mine was way into LSD and magic mushrooms. Twenty-plus years on I ran into her, and to describe her as paranoid does not even begin to touch it.
I mentioned something I remembered, and suddenly I was The Man, who was I working for, what was I trying to learn?
Maybe not related at all, and I'm just one person, but just night and day difference. I changed my email address and phone number. Had to.
Sounds like schizophrenia. In my experience, there are a whole lot of schizophrenics who've taken psychedelics. I can't imagine what it's like to be schizophrenic, so I also can't imagine what it's like to be schizophrenic and take drugs, but it does seems to hit them extra-hard. I don't think the drugs cause anything that wasn't going to happen anyway, but it seems like people who might be in the early stages of schizophrenia come out the other side of a trip changed forever. Since schizophrenia tends to initially manifest in the late teens and early 20s, and this is the age most people start experimenting with drugs, it could be completely coincidental, but I still think LSD in particular pushes people over the line if they were headed there already.
