So its only bad to do LSD frequently or when you are pregnant if you’re worried about birth defects? Also does it increase your chances of becoming insane?

Welcome to the Straight Dope Message Boards, **ithinkthereforeiam** , glad to have you with us. I presume this was in response to this column: [Does LSD cause birth defects? - The Straight Dope](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/486/does-lsd-cause-birth-defects) It’s helpful to other readers to provide the link when starting a thread.

It’s also helpful to other readers if the thread title has some vague description of what the thread is about. “Boobs” doesn’t really do that, so I’ve revised the thread title for you. Please see our [Rules](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=384736) and [Etiquette](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=384745) – especially note post #3 in the “Etiquette” thread.
