Have you ever heard of HPPD? Look into it. You can end up having long lasting or even permanent visual distortions, and also things such as tinnitus. Then there is the possibility of ending up with lingering depression from a really awful trip, or getting the cops called on you for acting like a lunatic and finding yourself in a psyche ward.
Yeah none of that has happened to me or anyone I know.
Anecdotal. I know a guy in his early twenties that has tinnitus and never ceasing visual distortions.
Nonsense. Thats probably from laced shit or super high doses. A bit of mushrooms should be a rite of passage for teens.
Mushrooms have been known to cause HPPD as well. I did these things when I was a teen and never had problems, but a teen that knows jack shit about the world and maybe has a predisposition for schizophrenia is in for a rude awakening when they take that eighth of shrooms.
True, mushrooms can cause it, but it's less likely to do so compared to LSD. I had minor HPPD symptoms for a time of about five years. Mostly persisting visual tracers.
That said, I did way more psychedelics than I probably should have. All of the classics plus a shitload of various phen and tyrpt RCs.
My symptoms went away when I slowed my roll and eventually stopped. Some people don't believe in HPPD. That's fine. If they get it they get it, and you're absolutely right that people should at least be aware of the risks.
Fuck it. May the strong survive. Theyre too coddled as it is.
