Told ya. :) Cool study.

In all seriousness though LSD can have long-lasting effects on your personality. Also, while it seems possible you could develop a serious mental disorder from LSD, it seems unlikely; but I base that on my first-hand experience with it.



On the contrary, psychedelic drugs have been correlated with improved mental health in a recent study: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/809724


The issue is with genetic predispositions. Those who have a family history of psychosis are at risk. The mental health risk posed by psychedelics to people without such predispositions is extremely small.
