How does LSD effect your personality?

Answer 1

Impossible to say. It really depends on too many variables to give any kind of definitive answer, and I'd say anyone who tries is being dangerously naive. In some instances, it doesn't cause any changes, and in others people go clinically insane (albiet very rarely).

Hallucinogens in general affect everyone differently, and the effects can be everything from euphoric to nightmarish. A good rule of thumb is to be extra careful if there are any mental health issues, either in the individual concerned or in their family (as some do not always surface until later in life), and to use these substances only in a safe environment.

I must however make it clear I am in NO WAY recommending the use of these types of drugs, but neither am I condemning their use. My personal experience has led me to feel that the best approach possible is to be as fully-informed as possible (and NOT via urban myth) before making any kind of decision on whether or not to take them. There are numerous websites containing factual information and users experiences on these drugs, I rate Erowid as being a fairly accurate source of information.
