I could be very wrong, but the story I currently have about this myself is that Vassar himself was a different and saner person before he used too much psychedelics. :( :( :(
Do you have a timeline of when you think that shift happened? That might make it easier for other people who knew Vassar at the time to say whether their observation matched yours.
I saw some him make some questionable drug use decisions at Burning Man in 2011 and 2012, including larger than normal doses, and I don’t think I saw all of it.
A lot of people take a lot of drugs on big events like Burning Man with little issue. In my observation, it’s typically the overly frequent and/or targeted psychedelic use that causes such big changes at least in those that start of fairly stable.

Non-agenda’d question: about when did you notice changes in him?
My autobiographical episodic memory is nowhere near good enough to answer this question, alas.

That… must have hurt a lot.
(I hope your story is right.)
