Curious detail in a paper on Visual Snow Syndrome, of which HPPD has been variously deemed a subtype. Some interpret their 'HPPD' - as with voice-hearing and visions in the traditional psychosis spectrum - as being of mystical origin. The same can apply to VSS!

In 2014, just under 30% between 12-17 believed there was no significant risk from taking LSD 1-2 x a week: a strong increase from 2002 w/out the current 'renaissance'. What would it be now, ten years on, when they're told the drugs are 'safe', 'non-addictive' and 'healing'?
