Drugs can affect mental illness in people susceptible to mental illness. If you arn't susceptible to mental illness then drugs arn't going to make you mentally ill.
While psychedelics can unmask latent mental illness in people so predisposed, I don't think they can cause a long term psychosis (scizoaffective disorders) in people without the right buttons to press. They can however cause neurosis related conditions in anybody regardless of any predisposition; a 'bad trip' is just as capable of causing PTSD as being in a big rail accident or being caught in a terrorist explosion (& PTSD can totally devistate any ability to hold together a 'normal' life, so it's not just mild conditions.
So, putting my opinion simply, LSD can't make you insane unless that capacity was already there, but it can lead to things that fuck with your life ie. leave you a bit loose/strange in the head (neurotic symptoms)
