It is interesting that the person went into trying LSD fully expecting it to be a negative experience. Could this be a self-fulfilling prophecy? I know little

  Disclaimer: Oversimplifying psychedelics. Many psychodelic drugs are not giving you "nice trips", which is also part of the reason _some_ have a very very low chance to make mentally addicted (and happen to also not trigger physical addiction). But they do "shake up" you mind in a way which can have long term positive effects in various ways, which could be as simple as helping with self reflection or as live changing as curing depression (not from a LSD tip, but there are psychedelic based treatments for depression which not only had cases of healing some people where "classical" methods did not work at all, but yielded long term results in a way no anti-depressant I'm aware of can archive). So in other words having a "not so nice trip" can be a "good live experience" for some. But then pretty much anything which messes with your mind can have bad long term effects if rareish complications appear, and a (oversimplified) rule of thump is the more it messes with your brain the more server can the rarish unexpected side-effects be for your live (e.g. worsening or triggering latent schizophrenia, but might also help treating it if done appropriately).
