Answer to Question 1

LSD induces more profound, and typically pleasant, visual-perceptual distortions of the environment, whereas threatening auditory hallucinations superimposed on environment are more common with schizophrenic patients. LSD induces empathy and concerns over interpersonal relationships; schizophrenic patients typically lack empathy and often withdraw from interpersonal relationships. Individuals under LSD are highly suggestible, whereas schizophrenic patients are exceedingly resistant to suggestion.

Answer to Question 2

Their anticholinergic side effects can be quite uncomfortable and these drugs typically induce amnesia for the experience.
