>there are people that end up in psychiatric wards after one acid trip.

Really, where have you heard this. I have only heard myths about this. Do we have any collections of data for these cases?

Something that is interesting is one of the lead researchers in the area professes that the disclaimer about psychotic episodes due to psychedelics in research is not based on any study more of a fear of tainting the study outcomes.

This happened to me, but with a high dose of marijuana. It was maybe maybe 3rd time I ever tried it. There is a confirmed connection between marijuana use and psychosis in those genetically susceptible. Hang around any schizophrenia forum long enough and you'll see plenty of stories from people who obtained their mental health problems from drug use.
