The behavior of someone on LSD and a small child are very similar. I believe that there is a naturally occurring "LSD like" chemical that we are all born with that wears off over a period of 16 to 25 years. During this time we call "maturing," it should be expected that the child will make really stupid and thoughtless mistakes. - Psychotic Kids
There actually is a substance in the brains of most people similar to LSD.
It's called DMT or dimethyltryptamine. It is similar in structure to serotonin.
"DMT is created in small amounts by the human body during normal metabolism by the enzyme Tryptamine-N-methyltransferase."
But the body quickly metabolizes it before we are aware of any effects.
However, perhaps in children, they may react to the brief moment when their brains are affected by DMT.
Hence the play of children where they talk to imaginary friends might be part of the normal "delusions" and "hallucinations" of childhood.
Thus mental illness and drug highs may be due to psychological immaturity, a side-effect of that inherent brief "psychosis" called childhood

Corporal punishment only creates psychotic children: http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/quest/200307/stories/2003071200050100.htm
Fresno will make this 11 yr old girl psychotic: http://www.pkblogs.com/bionicoctopus/2005/07/holy-psychotic-racially-motivated.html
This makes me wonder about police brutality and its relationship to brutality-induced psychosis by people the cops pick on daily.
The 11 yr old girl has her own website to free her: http://www.freemaribel.org/
So psychosis might be a form of immaturity in people rather than a "psychiatric order" managed by the use of psychotropic drugs, most of which perputate the symptoms.
oops.
"psychiatric disorder."
no no it's a form of order forced upon a child through psycho meds.
However, psychedelics did improve autism as this report shows: http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/lsd/autism.htm
My hypothesis then is that recreational drug use by kids is banned because the pharmaceutical companies would lose money if kids continue to use illegal drugs to control psychosis.
