And it's not like a person on proper medication and full remission crashes into a brain eating zombie from one trip.

Honestly.

Psychedelics also aren't addictive in the same sense as like crack and tobacco.

He probably has strong slow-release depot capsules under his skin which slowly release antipsychitic medication and last for several weeks. Or meets up to take long acting shots. But in any case, unless he's completely socially isolated and unsupervised, you would notice him acting strange before he'd get to the "eating brains" stage.

I can tell you that if anyone of his relatives or friends he used to know dismissed him as "not my responsibility" before the murder - brainbinge, they're not gonna be doing that this time around and will actually alert authorities.

Because "help is alway available" really isn't true. It's a nice sentiment, but it's not true.
