a question about LSD and mental health? -

i have been reading about LSD potentially triggering mental illnesses people can have that they dont yet know they have. I have taken LSD three times, the first time it was relatively mild, the second time was a heavy trip that still felt like it was possible to have a heavier one, and the third one was somewhere in between the first two in terms of strength.These trips were spread out over about 18 months, the last time being about 6 months ago. I feel normal, i dont have any mental issues (i dont think so anyway lol).If i did have an underlying psychological problem that acid could kickstart, would it have already happened by now since i have taken it on three separate occasions with no effects so far?or should this be something I know not to be worried about now?as far as I am aware there is no history of mental illness in my family, going at least as far back as my grandparents on both sides of my family.some interesting answers, (apart from the'yep'one, haha). im asking because i know its a drug thats not to be taken lightly, its really powerful, and its best to know as much as i can about it, because i probably will take it again at some stage.im not sure i believe about the LSD killing millions of braincells thing though, ive never read that before (and ive read a fair bit). The dose of LSD is tiny, like millionths of a gram, so I cant see it killing MILLIONS of braincells. However, i could see that being true with ecstasy. A tab of LSD can't be worse than a few shots of vodka surely.to those people asking'why LSD', my answer is that it really is an astonishing experience, it's indescribable. but i have no doubt that it comes with risks, thats why I've only taken a few times. I felt like I had to try it at least once before I could ever make a comment about it.
