LSD is one of the most powerful mind-altering drugs known to all aspects of the drug culture, including big pharmaceutical.In fact, depending upon who you speak with, a long-ago rumor of lore about acid was that its actual history comes from a union between big pharma and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to create a mind-altering drug for espionage purposes.

3. ACID/LSD: THE MIND-OPENING DRUG
TAKING THE TRIP
LSD is one of the most powerful mind-altering drugs known to all
aspects of the drug culture, including big pharmaceutical.

4. HOW LSD IS KNOWN ON THE STREET
LSD is sold on the street in small tablets called
microdots. It is also provided in capsule or gelatin
squares which go by the name “window panes.”
Acid is sometimes added to absorbent paper, then divided into
small squares decorated with designs or cartoon characters. This
form of LSD is commonly referred to as loony toons.

6. WHAT IS AN LSD “TRIP?”
Those who are veterans of LSD usage
call the experience of being on the drug
a “trip.”

7. Throughout the duration of a trip, one’s
mood could be joyful and ecstatic.
• Trips last up to twelve hours. During this period, a person’s
senses are increased to an higher level; colors are brighter,
routine situations are much more intense, and the
perception of time is distorted, which can make the trip
seem much longer.
• However, much of this depends upon those who are
around the person on acid.
• If the mood is somber or even morbid, the LSD trip may
devolve into a “bad trip,” in which negative experiences
take on a similar intensity as positive experiences.

8. DISTORTIONS, PERCEPTIONS AND
HALLUCINATIONS
Much of the acid experience involves visual disorders, sensory
perceptions and hallucinations.
Depending upon the user and their frame of mind, these
experiences within the LSD experience can be pleasurable, so-
described as “mind opening,” or overtly harrowing.

HALLUCINATIONS

9. Visual distortions can appear in the form of an overlay or outline of
geometric or swirling patterns.
At other times, the distortions have been described as a change in the
perceived size or shape of objects, while others on acid trips claim static
objects such as walls, doors and ceilings appear to move or even
breathe.

10. SENSORY PERCEPTIONS
Synesthesia can also occur while a person is on LSD. It is a
situation when sensory perceptions cross channels in the
brain. In short, what a person would usually smell, such
as perfume, they might instead believe they hear. Or, in
another instance, things that are usually only seen can
now be tasted.

11. HALLUCINATIONS
Hallucinations are another common experience in which
objects or people are seen, although in reality, neither is
truly present. To put it bluntly, you’re sensing things that
aren’t there.
These hallucinations can span the gamut of our five senses.
They are instantaneous, yet for the moment one
experiences a hallucination, they can be quite confusing.
