May I become crazy?
(= Have I gone mad?)


I feel the first one doesn`t make sense at all. Please tell me if I�m right.

Well, it sounds as if you are asking permission to become crazy, which is not normally the way it happens

If you want to ask if a certain process could lead to insanity, you could say, for example, "If I eat a couple of these mushrooms, might I become crazy?"
However, most likely you'd just ask, "Will these things make me nuts?"
