Anybody ever knew a person who went crazy from using psychedelics???

The first and only time I used psychedelics (not counting weed) was with mushrooms. I took way too much and tripped balls. It went really, really bad. Needless to say I never knew what a panic attack was until that night. Ever since then I am extremely sensitive to anxiogenic substances. I was unable to smoke weed or touch stimulants for several years after that trip unless I had a benzo on hand.

To be fair I disregarded the magic rules of set & setting - I did not respect the power of psychedelics and thought it was going to be like getting stoned, but instead I opened a whole new universe in my mind that I was not ready to see.
 
Kinda similar to my experience... i was so excited to try shrooms i ate em as soon as i got them... i didnt care where i was... this led to me tripping in a bad set and setting as well

I thought i was just gonna feel a little funny and see shit that wasnt ther and have a good time but it was completely different from what i had expected... had a terrible time... i regret taking them because i believe that that one experience still affects me mentally to this day and that was back in July but i also do not regret it because it was honestly the most strangest experience i have ever had in my life and it gave me a story to tell since i dont have many
 
In so many cases it's really hard to tell if a person "went crazy from using psychedelics" or if using psychedelics exacerbated and underlying mental disorder.

It really varies from person to person. I have a friend who had a psychotic episode from one tab of LSD when he was 19, he was later diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. In this particular case I think the latent mental health issues would have manifested anyway, but who knows? Conversely I've tripped hundreds of times, and while I'm a little nuts (heh) I can still function in the world okay...I also have friends who have tripped many more times than me. Some are a lil weird, but most are completely fine.

I will say that heavy dissociative abuse tends to bring out psychotic behavior in otherwise rational individuals. Ever seen anyone really addicted to DXM? Not a pretty sight...
 
A kid I knew of in high school tripped hundreds of times on any and every psychedelic, RC's included. He ended up committing suicide at 19, but I was told he certainly had pre-existing mental health issues.
 
I have alot of friends (and friends of friends) that use psychedelics so I'm exposed to decent amount of heavy trippers. None are crazy, but some get caught up in arrogance and what I like to call "cosmic delusion". Not deep spirituality, I get that... sometimes trips bring up some heavy questions and a stronger sense of understanding. I'm talking people who start overthinking everything and making weak, almost delusional correlations to everyday things.

As a psychedelic user the arrogance is what really annoys me though, some users act as if they are better than everyday people and have a better grasp on reality because they've had many psychedelic experiences. Oh, and there's also the people who get caught up in heavy use and swear how their use is only making them a better person when from an outside perspective you can clearly see that their social skills are diminishing rapidly and they're always wanting to be alone, tripping... and when they're not it's all that's on their minds. Never seen anybody legit lose their shit permanently though.

Most psychedelic users I know have been through that phase at some point, but they didn't get stuck in that pattern very long.
When I was a teen there were rumors about some 30yr old guy in my neighborhood who had become a vegetable after tripping for days. It was just a rumor though, and he was actually a nice guy, I'm not even sure how that rumor started. I remember that he had a nice garden with 2 fat cats.
 
I had one friend flip out on acid. He got violent and we had to sedate him and lock him in a closet. Next day he was very disoriented and we thought it was from the benzos from the night before but he kept on being dissociated from the world several days after and we convinced him to get commited at a mental institution. He stayed there for several months before he returned home again. But he did return, both to his house and the real world.
 
I remember back in my late teens when we were using ALOT of pot, acid, shrooms we always heard a person that used more than 7 hits of acid could be considered legally insane, but not sure if thats actually true or not.
 
Bad tripping for me is within the worst experiences someone can go through!! Ever!!

In low doses, I find Mescaline is somewhere between MDMA and Mushrooms, giving a great body high and a definite positive mood push with visuals similar to 2g mushrooms. In the 500-800mg range (of HCL) it gets pretty hectic, not lose-your-mind like high doses of LSD, but I've had completely realistic OEV's, memories were replaying in front of me and were extremely vivid and realistic, almost like DMT, but in a less othrerworldly manner, and much more controlled. Mind you this was 800mg of almost pure mescaline.

Tell me about it I swear I think I have some form of PTSD after all of the horrifying acid trips I have had over the years. I was young then though and had not a clue what I was in for. Took me a long one to learn my lesson though after over a hundred trips my mind just cannot handle LSD anymore, though I am very hard headed. So sad because it's such a beautiful substance, and I have very fond memories of it amongst my closest friends who I don't even know anymore.

Seconded.
There was someone else who said if they had continued to use psychedelics they would have had bad trips. I also feel like this. I always heard about someone in town eating too much LSD, thinking he was a glass of orange juice, and wouldn't lie down because if he did, he would have tipped over.

One time I was at a music festival in upstate NY , and our neighbors (in a camper) couldn't get into their rv because their friend had locked herself in. They came over and asked us if anyone could pick a lock. Me being the crafty drug addict I am volunteered. Turned out the chick who had locked herself in had been dosing liquid out of a vial directly onto her tongue when the top fell off. I can't even imagine. But I did successfully pick the lock.
