Anyone else end up in Rehab/Asylum?

Well, I decided to make a post about my favorite cousin "J" who was (until the end of these episodes) a strong supporter of recreational hallucinogen use. Shrooms (the drug he had his 1st trip on) are his favorite. He lives in a small town in butt f**k nowhere Mississippi.
I've seen many people try to post about pushing the limits with mushrooms and other drugs but I always remember his experience during my own personal endeavors. "J" has smoked pot since he was 11, and has experimented with Acid, Ecstasy, Cocaine, Mushrooms, Mescaline/Peyote, Salvia, and a few other less notable drugs.
J has had 3 different episodes that have ended with jail time, insanity, and nearly death during trip & drug binges with his friends. The 1st episode he decided to eat and drink noting but Mushrooms for 3 days. I'm sure this descision seems incredibly stupid, but drugs can lead to some pretty stupid descisions. He claimed he was a prophet of Jesus and walked around town with a beard down to his Adam's apple, and a bible trying to preach and pouring holy water on people (on a relatively constant level 5 trip the whole time). He ended up getting Baker acted, arrested, and put into the mental institute for slightly longer than a month.
J has almost gotten shot, he has been t-boned by a Semi Truck going about 60 mph dead on while road tripping (They had to use the jaws of life to free him), and he has been beaten into an inch of his life by 2 security guards at a festival(thank god he didnt) while tripping.
His latest (and hopefully last episode) ended about 7 months ago. Somewhere along the lines J had became addicted to Cocaine (he had always preached to me that cocaine was "the devils drug" so I knew drugs really must have had a grip on his life). He went on a 7 day binge without eating or drinking much, he just did E, Mescaline, and Cocaine non stop. This time he nearly killed his brother and threatened many of his friends and family. He was basically homeless, lost touch with everyone - a sad sight for my whole family. He was arrested this time for the murder threats and a BB gun incident (he waved it around and many people thought it was real. He spent about 30 days in jail, then rehab. During his stay in jail with a heroin addict jailmate he has found God and has been clean for about 7 months.
J was disgustingly skinny for all 3 of these episodes, and when I first talked to him after the last episode it was apparent the old Jamie was gone. He was speaking eratically, his thoughts were jumbled and constantly changing, he was so into God that it was almost intimidating. He has gotten much better since then which simply amazes me.
I dont know exactly why I posted this. I just wanted to show how far drugs can go...anyway just ponder his experiences in anyway you choose. It might do you some good (it did me). You might just say that guy was just an idiot, I guess I just wanted to show how severe things can get.

Thats intense. Drugs can really affect people's lives, not only the user but their friends and family.
I binged on a sheet of unperf buddah's (was told it was white fluff) for a month and a half about 2 years ago. Was tripping every few days. I got up to 7 hits at a time, then a few times i did ten strips, and did 12 hits once. I was pretty wasted durin that those times and months after, it affected family and friend relationships. Its not good to binge, psychedelics are way to powerful
