D-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD, acid, blotter) belongs to a group of drugs known as hallucinogens. Like other hallucinogens such as peyote (mescaline) and psilocybin (magic mushrooms), LSD produces images, sounds, and other sensations that may seem real to users during the period of intoxication but are actually figments of their own imaginations.
LSD is created in the laboratory from lysergic acid, a natural substance found in Claviceps purpurea, a type of fungus that grows on rye plants. A Swiss chemist named Albert Hoffmann first created LSD in 1938, and from 1947 to 1966, it was sold as a prescription drug under the trade name Delysid. During this time, LSD was used by psychiatrists for therapeutic purposes, including the treatment of alcoholism and depression.
Since LSD is derived from a natural substance, it is not possible to overdose on it. However, users can experience negative side effects, such as anxiety, paranoia, and hallucinations. In some cases, these side effects can be so severe that users require medical attention. There have also been reports of deaths associated with LSD use, though it is unclear if the drug was the direct cause.
If you or someone you know is using LSD, it is important to be aware of the potential risks
