Mehamphetamine: Meth can definitely cause persistent psychosis especially in those with predisposition. PCP, LSD, mushrooms, peyote might but no conclusive evidence that I know of. Cocaine and even marijuana frequently cause temporary psychosis and could trigger those who are susceptible more long term. Alcohol can cause psychosis especially during withdrawal
Created for people with ongoing healthcare needs but benefits everyone.
