>>11488217I take it that you have no background whatsoever in psychology, psychedelics, or neurobiology. I only have background in two of which, but that's more than you can say obviously.
Psychedelics do not typically induce states that are similar to the delusions and delirium of schizophrenia or the like. They're entirely different. If you want to compare schizophrenia to a hallucinogen, compare it to a deliriant like diphenhydramine or scopolamine (datura).
Psychedelics can however accelerate the onset of schizophrenia if one is already predispositioned to such.
Tl;dr: Classical psychedelics such as LSD, psilocin (shrooms), DMT, and mescaline do NOT induce schizophrenia in neurotypical individuals (majority of the population).
