No. drugs like LSD can cause schizophrenia after they are stopped or even after one dose in susceptible individuals.

  And I think that is the myth.

    I can tell you from personal experience that's not a myth. (Not me, personally, my immediate family member). One LSD trip triggered permanent psychosis.

      Umm...are you sure? Are you sure the LSD triggered "permanent psychosis"?
      • astura 4y ago
        Yes, this is what I personally witnessed happen to an immediate family member, minus the scare quotes. The LSD trip definitely caused psychosis and the psychosis has been permanent thus far (this was over a decade ago!). I literally saw it happen.

          So when you say permanent psychosis, what are the symptoms?
