This study was recently published, and highlights just how bad some "scientific" studies actually are. Always read the original article before you draw conculsions from some sensational news source! Although I am not aware of media coverage one can easily imagine the headlines.
The article draws it conclusions on one subject, and states that the subject:
"reported history of trauma in which as a child, he witnessed friends and relatives brutally murdered in the Kosovo War"
They are also unsure if he actually took an hallucinogen stating:
"The patient denied recent alcohol or drug use but endorsed a remote illicit substance use 10 years prior when he smoked cannabis that was presumably laced with lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD)
or phencyclidine (PCP). The patient’s father also reported that the patient had previously used cocaine during the 1990s as well but was unsure of the duration. Since the time the patient smoked cannabis, he had visual perception distortions or ‘‘flashbacks’’ similar to the acute effects experienced after ingesting the hallucinogen."
Yet they conclude:
"Although hallucinogen abuse is common in the United States, this case suggests that HPPD [(hallucinogen persisting perception disorder)] may be significantly underdiagnosed. In some cases, this oversight may perpetuate years of unnecessary patient suffering. In the worst case, untreated HPPD can lead to severe depression and mortality."
