Not really, no. Say if someone starts talking to a tree once.....and the tree talks back that is a form of psychosis. The fact that they just took a hit of acid an two hours ago makes no difference, the experience is still deemed psychotic by pdocs. Of course, the tree talking was caused by the acid, but the fact that it was from drugs does not make a difference to shrinks. You might be a totally sane person, but the experience was insane. If someone has the same experience once without taking acid, but it never happens again then the experience is still deemed psychotic by pdocs whether you are sane or not. However, if this happens all every day for at least 6 months and you cannot function, then your deemed schizophrenic. If the same guy who took the acid keeps conversing with trees 6 months later then he has drug induced schizophrenia
