yeah, just look at shulguin. he's tried more drugs than anyone on earth and now he's drooling on himself in a wheelchair, trying to remember his own name...
Just for the record, I know that you were being sarcastic, but someone who doesn't know who Dr. shulgin is, or doesn't know his current state of health might take this as "information" rather than sarcasm.
Dr. Shulgin is in fine health, is in his 70's (I believe) and has the same mental lucidity as a young man. And suffers no ill effects from his personal research.

There is only one recreational drug that I am aware of which is known to cause Parkinson's like symptoms. And this
ONLY occurs when taken in massively high (life threatening) doses, and that is methamphetamine. The effect does not appear to be accumulative either, as long term methamphetamine users do not tend to acquire Parkinson's like symptoms.
George "Monkey Slayer" Ricaurte proved this with his "botched(?)" MDMA study that was intended to pass the RAVE Act (how convenient 8) ). Instead of using MDMA in his study, they "accidentally" used methamphetamine, but at doses which would be high for MDMA (methamphetamine is far more potent than MDMA).
The dose which he gave his monkey's was so high in fact, that several of them died, and the others were in such distress that they aborted further injections. Those who survived acquired Parkinson's like symptoms.
