He wasn't the only one. Peter Green lost it pretty much the same way, whom I believe somewhat recovered in the end but it took him years
Meanwhile boyband beatles George and John took lsd many times and were fine
They were dabbling in it. Syd's "friends" were spiking his drinks he walked around tripping 24/7
Also there are levels to LSD. Remember in the Woodstock documentary where they tell people not to take the brown acid. Everyone who took brown acid had bad trips
John Lennon did once declare he realized he was Jesus Christ at a meeting with the other Beatles
Christ is a parable for a state of spiritual being within all of us, so he was close
Lennon was the least Christlike out of all the Beatles
John was obviously a very tortured soul, he wasn’t fine at all
George always had a stick up his ass but I think that was just his personality
Neither. It was just a con for his money
They didn't took that nuch, and George stopped soon afterwards, and started doing the indian shit
I feel the "drugs make you crazy" is just old fashioned anti-drug propaganda. He was always schizophrenic and it manifested in different ways
Drugs just make you into a miserable junkie loser
I think its a cocktail of autism and too much LSD
Maybe schizoid but that's just speculation, I think he was generally quite sociable before it all went downhill
LSD can trigger latent schizophrenia ai. some can handle it much worse than others
I think so as well to some extent. I've watched a lot of interviews of the people who knew Syd back then, including the other members of the Floyd. The consensus is that Syd probably was more suseptible to schizophrenia and that the drugs and pressure of his newfound fame pushed him over the top into schizophrenia
not sure why people care about him so much since all the best PF stuff was only after he left the band
depression is a hell of drug
get to the age where schizophrenia manifests (while also being a lifelong eccentric)
schizophrenia manifests
IT WAS LSD
it's not the lsd that makes you schizo. It's smoking weed everyday, I'm not joking, that's what science is now revealing.
Drugs don't make you schizophrenic but they can trigger it. I'm schizophrenic and I never had a drug in my life before I became psychotic but I have tried drugs since and they make it much worse
He got gigamogged and then it was all over
He crashed out + he had shitty friends
I can speak from experience that when I used to smoke weed everyday I would hear things while sober, I had auditory hallucinations and strong paranoia, again, sober. After some years it went away, but people take weed side effects too lightly
he's a person after all, and he was also on some good albums (both solo and in PF)
Maybe you're just a giant pussy.
he faked it and lived off royalty money for the rest of his life, what a chad
This. Living your ass off royalties in Cambridge is based as fuck
i smoke everyday and i totally relate to that. sometimes lights and shadows move out of place in really menacing ways, i hear shit that isnt there, the paranoia is manageable i think, you just gotta learn to control yourself.
Roky Erickson is the better 60s acid casualty rockstar
How much in royalties do you reckon he got?
you just sound like a pussy
They were dabbling in it. Syd's "friends" were spiking his drinks he walked around tripping 24/7
was this ever confirmed? I thought this was just an urban legend.
Weed now is completely different than it was in the 60s though. It’s incredibly strong now. I don’t know how people can take more than one or two hits.
he was worth a little over $2 million at the time of his death
why is john a "tortured soul" ?
you have to sacrifice the jew in you to be reborn as god. foreskin needs to be intact though

I see shadows move around in the house and get chills, but I think weed attracts low vibration entities maybe.
Definitely low vibration entities. Sage your living space.
i might sage this post how about that.
i do think i might have a "duende" (doesnt translate directly to english sorry) living with me, but i let it stay bc not paying rent and being a magical visitor is cool.

Because some dumbass made a public announcement implying there was something wrong with it. LSD was the only high potency psychedelic they had back then. It it fit in a blotter or microdot and actually did something it was genuine LSD. If they'd just stayed calm they'd have been fine.
announcing to a huge audience of hippie children that they might have shit acid is for sure gonna make people have more bad trips than if they hadnt said anything
