LSD

What is it?

Hallucinogens can be found in many different forms from magic mushrooms which are grown to LDS which is manmade. Although LSD is not naturally made, it is one of the most common forms of hallucinogens. LSD (Lysergic Acid Diethylamide) is produced in a lab and is made from lysergic acid which comes from a fungus that grows on grains. Once initially produced, LSD is in a crystal form but is usually changed into a tablet, capsule or dissolvable paper to be sold on the streets. There are many more forms that LSD can be found in but no matter what, they all have the same shocking results. There is no form of legal LSD because the affects it has on the user are extremely dangerous.

LSD usually takes effect after around 30 to 90 minutes of using the drug and causes the user to have extreme mood swings and drastic changes in emotions. It also causes the user to experience tips and delusions where they hallucinate things that are not there. These hallucinations are extremely dangerous, not just for the user but for the people around them because of their unpredictability. There are also many physical effects of the drug that include an increase in body temperature, sweating, increased heart rate, tremors and shakes, dilated pupils and nausea.
