Snopes Debunks "7 Hits and You are Insane"

No matter what form the rumor takes, it is bunk. No specific number of LSD trips renders a user insane, in either a legal or psychiatric sense. Insanity (which, by the way, is a legal term, not a psychiatric one) as a finding relates to an individual's overt acts which are of such a nature that society has no difficulty labeling him as crazy, not to his having in a quiet and unobtrusive manner passed an arbitrary benchmark regarding his drug use.
