That's bullshit, but the fact that people believe it still is no big surprise to me.

You linked me to a page that just wants a login. I'd be amazed if your claim was true though as I've personally known people who have gone way off the deep end from using too much acid.

Edit: Okay so I found what is probably study that you were linking on another page and there is a very obvious problem with it which is that it involves people reporting their own mental illness. For example I have a family member who claimed that he developed psychic powers after having used LSD. If you asked him whether or not he had mental illness he would say no although to me it's very obvious that LSD has affected him mind permanently. If that is the same study (actually it's more of just a survey) it seems to be very sloppily done. To really do such a study you'd need to do far more than call a lot of people and ask them a few questions. I have an open mind on the subject, although like I said I'd be very surprised if that were the case. Have you never met someone who perma-fried?
