Cheers guys.
Looks like the next few days are going to be equally as interesting. Buddy's parents have flown back from holiday, we have an angry dad asking who certain people are. I think some people have had to remove certain things from their houses in case the police start sniffing around. This is gonna get worse before it gets better.
A few things jack said rings true. He thinks he's got people after him, like scientoligists or a cult, something like that. He woke his gf up a few nights back because he thought she said "get him in the van" while she was sleeping. He even tried to get out of a taxi as it was slowly going round an island because he was afraid he was being taken somewhere horrible. He also seems to have a guilt complex, like he needs to make amends for something he's done. This seems to have a religious tone, depsite him being atheist.
And yeah acid is lsd. That's mild stuff compared to DMT, but still pretty heavy. I do acid maybe once every 6 months. It's fun. DMT is like a super strong acid trip, condensed into 10 minutes. Users can expect full on trips best described as out-of-body-experiences. 2-CE is similar to lsd in potency and effect, so I'm told. I was interested in it but never got round to trying it, and I'm unlikely to now. I'd only expect someone to not come down from lsd if they do too much. One trip is very unlikely to disturb you to the point of full blown psychosis. But the drugs he's been doing, it's not possible to say that. He's been pushing boundries, that's clear.
At the moment he's being observed in a hospital. Other than psychosis, which is better described as a symptom, there's no diagnosis. So he's not being medicated yet. I'm not sure what method of treatment he's going to get. We're hoping he snaps out of it, but that kind of feels naively optimistic.
spoon I agree, all drugs legalised. That attitude doesn't change with a friend of mine losing his mind. How many pyschotic episodes happen thanks to alcohol? Banning drugs doesn't stop people from taking them. It forces people to make this shit themselves, or buy it on the black market, which is much more dangerous than a regulated market. And we're at the point now where chemists simply change the chemical structure slightly to make it technically a different compound, meaning it needs its own legal classification. In many cases, drugs are legal because they're so new the law hasn't dealt with it yet. That of course is also very dangerous - users are legally using hallucinogenic drugs that have not been studied. Maybe they wouldn't if the law said it's ok to eat magic mushrooms ffs.
Banning drugs is stupid. Addicts should be treated as sick, not as criminals.
