I don't know about permanent hallucinations but I suspect that the drug
can lead to a serious change in how you relate to the world. I knew a
guy that we called "Space commander zuba" who took 300 LSD trips in one
year. He never came back. Also in the biography of the rock group Pink
Floyd called "A saucerful of secrets", there are descriptions of the
mental decline of Sid Barrett, an original member of the group, who went
around the bend and stayed there for decades.
