To top it all off, your memory will be messed up for the rest of your life. It screws with your whole brain chemestry and if you've got any underlying disorders (depression, whatever) they can come out a thousand fold.
Whether or not you do it is of course your choice, but don't by any means think it's not harmful to you.
And, of course, drugs, alcohol, nothing should be used as an escape from reality. If you feel you need to escape, might be time to see a doctor or psych.

very few ever suffer from HPPD
if you want to know more about drugs go to erowid.com
I would have to be another that agrees using any drug is not a good way to escape, psychadelics in general are the absolute last thing you want to do for that kind of stuff, next to something like heroin that is.
As for the memory thing, ive known and i myself have done a fair share of hallucinogen tripping and not one of us had our memory damaged.
A friend of mine goes through huge amounts of marijuana and when he does mushrooms does lots and has a better memory than almost everyone i know.
