With me, it wasn't LSD that directly led to schizophrenia type symptoms. I was using a great deal of MDA when symptoms manifested themselves to me. I was alone, at home while family was on vacation, I had a job and stayed home to work. However, just because I was binging on MDA at the time I had a history of other psychedelic use that likely contributed to psychological breakdown, including unresolved trauma. I figure my brain shut down from serotonin overload thereby causing psychosis. No one knows what really happened or why it happened to me...it just happened and now I'm trying to discredit the false information handed to us by the government that psychedelics are harmful, particularly to people with severe mental illness having psychosis.
I don't believe it, one of the factors associated with LSD causing madness is the result of Charles Manson and the brutal senseless murders committed by his followers who were said to be on acid under Manson's guidance. This added fuel to Nixon's choice to use Timothy Leary as scapegoat for his eagerness and support of LSD. This along with countless anti-drug propaganda being preached over the media with legal constraint changed the course of history based of false truths and outright lies to preserve national security and governmental jurisdiction.
There was great fear that communism was behind society dissidence, challenging governmental authority. This was unheard and it was up to the government put an end to it for of being overtaken. These were powerful people and they weren't about to let a bunch of acid heads change the country with such notions as peace and love without a fight. It was a time of social unrest, the Weathermen were bombing government institutions and law enforcement buildings, the National Guard and law enforcements were on college campuses, including Kent State where four students were killed walking to class.
The Civil Rights Movement, Martin Luther King, the Viet Nam War, gay rights movement and women's rights movement were all happening at the same time, underground newspapers. psychedelics and LSD gave us the ability to question the norm unlike any other revolution in history, we were going to change the world with LSD, it was that powerful all we had to do was dose the masses and everyone would be able to see how to fix the world together.
Of course that was the dream but instead drug prohibition set in and people were distracted by lies and propaganda which became the truth. Rather than questioning the government and risking a lifetime in prison, many potential psychedelic philosophers got lost in life thinking not for themselves but the way society thought for them in conformity with government standards for living.
Not everyone gave into governmental design for societies health and wellbeing, many question governments decision about what is good for society as opposed to what is good for government. We are at another pivotal place in history that could go either way between the supporters of this administration or nonsupport's. Something will give way to change, it is inevitable something will occur, I don't know when or how but something will happen that bring about change.
