LSD does not *cause* mental illness. It can aggravate pre-existing mental illness, however (just like any other drug). And, contrary to what is said in this episode, negative life consequences due to "bad trips" are actually quite UNcommon. Much of the bad press concerning LSD stems from either government propaganda or urban legend. And "LSD addiction" is practically unheard of, so much so that you might say it does not exist! (See above about government propaganda.)
Too many episodes that sound like bad armchair psychologist who got info from detective shows, books, pop culture and other true crime pods. Oh and just fast Google search without looking more deeply. Show just don't sound like someone that did work on mental health field. Shame as this would have been new and interesting way to see crime.
if I wanted to listen to red-handed I would have

For planning the "perfect murder", they sure made a lot of mistakes. Typical narcissistic little shits
NY demoncrap vermin pulls fire alarm in the House in protest of the CR (which sniveling Joe Briben' told the demoncraps to do to save face), and MAGA are the extremists?
Robert Kennedy announces his run as an independent. This will effectively bleed off 20% of Joe Briben's vote, making it extremely difficult for the demoncraps to steal another election from President Donald J Trump.
Great. Another episode that isn't really an episode.
Joe Briben's dog bites another person, bringing the total to 11. Did the dog get a hit of that cocaine hunter dropped in the White House?
Being away from his mother for three weeks caused his “sociopathy” (an outdated term)? Give me a break. Making it that simplistic gives this episodes a pop psychology feel that takes away from any credibility the podcast is trying to lend to criminal profiling. At least be thorough in your analysis.
"Moribund": at the point of death. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/4195015-democrats-express-frustration-with-bidens-moribund-poll-numbers/
remember when Joe Briben' kept checking his watch during the ceremony for the 13 slaughtered marines? I do. their relatives do. real Americans do.
Why all the noise about "keeping Trump off the ballot in 2024" and the "14th amendment" and so on? Because he's going to win again, that's why.
where did you get info about how Dan treated Betty? From Betty's book? My dad was in the same law firm as Dan.
President Trump is in a dead-heat ranking with Joe Biden as per recent polls. Even after all the lies and propaganda. How does that make you feel, leftist shitheads?
A listener note. This episode contains adult content and is not suitable for everyone. Please... GROW TF UP!
He was evil and the system did nothing to protect the people. IDK who killed him. No one should.
It's cognitive "dissonance", not cognitive "dissidents"
Oh please tell me there will be a season 3 ?!?!
Also I'm always confused as to why people question when the supposed obvious killer. Please not guilty. For my limited knowledge of the law and courtrooms which I have some experience within, people. People plead not guilty so they don't get sentenced right away. , or they're playing cat miles and they want to see if there is a way to pull up. Reasonable doubt, or they're waiting to see if maybe the prosecutor will put a deal on the table to save taxpayers dollars and family. From how many goes to the horrible trial
