What Permanent Damage Can One Receive From Experimenting With LSD, DMT, Ecstasy, or Cocaine?

Question by Arya: What permanent damage can one receive from experimenting with LSD, DMT, ecstasy, or cocaine?
What are some FACTS on these drugs and their lasting effects? Please, no unwanted criticism unless you also provide me with some experience or solid facts. What damage do they have potential to cause and what are the chances?
By “experiences” I mean personal. What’s happened to you and/or people you know well when on these drugs or after they’re taken?

there is a certain link between drug use in your teens and late 20s early 30s depression.

Your question is to vague — what do you mean be “experimenting”? If you are talking about highly controlled scientific scenarios with guaranteed pure/clean stuff, that is one thing, but if you are just asking about people just trying this stuff to see “what’s up”, that’s a whole other story.

OK, I see. I’ll relate a couple stories:

1) A friend (this was in high school around 1970), consumed LSD repeatedly over a period of a year — probably dropping tabs at least two or three times a week. He grew progressively “disoriented” and finally died from exposure (25 F that night, wandered outside with just a small blanket for protection). He was pretty messed up before he even started, so there’s no saying that he wouldn’t have found another way of doing himself in… i.e., not necessarily a direct link to the LSD, but of course that was everyone’s conclusion.

2) A college girlfriend (1975) ended up with a deviated septum attributed to near constant snorting of cocaine, and later had a cancer in her sinus that ended up eating much of her face 20 years later (of course, there’s no sure way to draw a one-for-one link between the two).

That’s all I got. Hope it helps.
