without a doubt, psychosis can be a result of using not only hallucinogens, but long term usage of almost any drug.
Use of cocaine, amphetamines, cannabis and alcohol seems to be associated with greater risk for psychosis. Severity and duration of use, age at the time of first use and vulnerability to develop psychosis by virtue of familial, possibly genetic and personality factors seem to be the determinants for the development of psychosis.

Can adderall abuse result in a dose dependent schizophrenic reaction i.e. alternate personality while intoxicated?
Yes; amphetamine can cause psychosis in individuals who otherwise are normal. Amphetamine psychosis is a disorder caused from abuse of the drug and generally occurs while one is withdrawing from the drug. The psychological effects generally do not continue after the drug has been discontinued; in some cases, psychosis has persisted even after removal the drug. Treatment with Vitamin B6 in one case resolved the psychosis.
