LSD can temporarily impair judgment and increase risk of accidents. Users may experience "flashbacks" where they re-experience effects of LSD days after use, though these are generally short-lived and mild. Albert Hofmann first synthesized LSD in 1938 while researching medical applications. LSD has unpredictable short-term effects like dilated pupils and altered sensations, but can cause hallucinations at high doses. Long-term effects may include flashbacks or developing psychoses like schizophrenia. While not addictive, users can build a tolerance requiring higher doses for effects. LSD is used by teenagers and young adults, especially at concerts and raves.

Marijuana is the most commonly used illegal drug. Its short-term effects include problems with memory, perception, thinking and motor coordination. Hashish and hash oil are derived from cannabis and have a higher potency than marijuana. Ecstasy causes feelings of peacefulness and energy but also involuntary teeth clenching and potential heart and body temperature issues. Hallucinogenic mushrooms can cause psychological dependence and physical tolerance along with dilated pupils and elevated heart rate. LSD is the most potent hallucinogen and its effects are unpredictable and can include hallucinations, mood swings and flashbacks. Inhalants like glue and solvents cause hallucinations and brain/nervous system damage.
Classification of drug of abuse
This document discusses the classification and effects of three classes of drugs of abuse: depressants, stimulants, and hallucinogens. Depressants like alcohol and barbiturates slow brain function and can cause fatigue, dizziness, and slowed breathing. Stimulants like cocaine and amphetamines increase alertness but long-term abuse can cause organ damage, exhaustion, and cardiovascular issues. Hallucinogens like LSD and PCP alter perception and can cause hallucinations; some are extracted from plants while others are synthetic.
DRUGS (Sedatives, Solvents, Stimulants)
This document discusses different types of sedatives, stimulants, and other drugs that affect the central nervous system.

CNS depressants like benzodiazepines and barbiturates are commonly prescribed but can cause problems if not properly monitored. Their use began in the 1800s with bromides and was later replaced by barbiturates and then benzodiazepines. While relatively safe in short term use, long term use of benzodiazepines can lead to dependence and withdrawal problems. CNS depressants work by reducing brain activity and awareness through effects on the neurotransmitter GABA. They are classified based on their effects from sedatives to hypnotics to anesthetics depending on dose.
Addiction And Health
This document discusses different types of drugs and addiction. It explains that all abused substances alter dopamine levels in the brain and cause feelings of pleasure when used recreationally. For addicted individuals, drug use takes on a significance similar to survival behaviors. Addiction causes changes in the brain that interfere with clear thinking and self-control. The compulsive craving grows stronger than other priorities like family, health, and happiness. Addicted individuals often underestimate how much drugs impact their lives and the level of control they have over use.
Inhalants presentation
Inhalants are toxic vapors from substances like cleaning products and paint thinner that slow the body's functions. Short term effects include slurred speech, dizziness, and hallucinations. Long term use can cause muscle weakness, brain damage, and heart or lung damage. Repeated inhalation can cause sudden death from heart failure within minutes, called sudden sniffing death. Younger children abuse inhalants more than older children, and signs of abuse include red nose and loss of appetite.

Narcotics it's negative effects
Narcotics abuse can be life-threatening and ruinous. It is widespread among both youth and adults across socioeconomic classes. Chronic narcotics use leads to tolerance, requiring increased doses for the same effect, and causes withdrawal symptoms like tremors and vomiting when use is stopped. Prolonged dependence can cause convulsions, respiratory failure, and even death. Narcotics abuse has negative effects on individuals through health issues, lost productivity, and psychological dependence. It also harms families through neglect, financial problems, and unhappiness. Communities face increased crime, accidents, and economic impacts from reduced workforce participation due to narcotics abuse.
Alcohol and drugs week 6
The document provides information about hallucinogenic drugs including LSD, PCP, MDMA, and their effects. It discusses how hallucinogens affect neurotransmitter systems in the brain, their physical and psychological effects, risks of flashbacks and bad trips, and implications for employment if usage is disclosed. The purpose is to educate students on the consequences of hallucinogen use through summaries of different drugs and trends in use.
Acids and hallucigens
Hallucinogenic drugs alter perception and brain function by acting on serotonin levels in the central nervous system. Two common hallucinogens are LSD (acid) and psilocybin mushrooms, both of which can cause hallucinations and distorted perceptions of reality. Short term effects include altered thinking and sensations, while long term effects may include flashbacks, changes in memory and focus.
Drug abuse and addiction 2015
The document summarizes drug abuse and addiction from a neurobiological perspective. It discusses how repetitive drug use leads to adaptive changes in the brain, especially in brain circuits involved in reward and motivation. This can make drug use compulsive and difficult to stop. All addictive drugs increase dopamine levels in the brain's reward system, hijacking the brain's natural reinforcement pathways and conditioning drug-seeking behavior. Long-term drug use can cause lasting changes in the structure and function of the brain that contribute to addiction. However, treatment and abstinence can allow the brain to partially recover over time.
Triazenes : A Versatile Tool In Medicinal Chemistry [Autosaved]
Triazenes are versatile compounds in medicinal chemistry and organic synthesis. They can be easily synthesized from readily available anilines or alkyl azides. In medicinal chemistry, triazenes act as alkylating agents and are used clinically for treating cancers like malignant melanoma. They are metabolized in vivo to active metabolites that alkylate DNA. In organic synthesis, triazenes serve as useful masking groups for amines and iodoarenes. They also enable the synthesis of various heterocycles and extended phenylacetylene systems through reactions like cycloaddition and acetylene coupling. Triazenes thus provide important applications in pharmacology and synthetic organic chemistry.
Crystal Meth
Crystal Meth is a colorless and odorless drug that is usually smoked but can also be snorted or injected. It causes intense but short-lived euphoric effects along with potentially dangerous physical and psychological side effects such as erratic behavior, increased heart rate, paranoia, and long-term health issues like brain damage or psychosis. Chronic use is associated with issues like tooth decay, skin sores, and weight loss. It goes by many street names and its effects, while similar to cocaine, are longer lasting.
Addictive substances - LSD
LSD was first synthesized in 1938 and introduced as a drug in 1947 under the name Delysid to treat conditions like alcoholism and pain. It was believed to be useful for psychotherapy by unblocking repressed memories. However, possession of LSD was made illegal in the US in 1968. Chemically, LSD is similar to serotonin and its formula is C20H25N3O. It produces strong physical effects like increased blood pressure and psychological effects like altered senses and losing one's identity that can last up to 14 hours. While generally not dangerous, multiple uses can cause brain damage and flashbacks can occur months later.

LSD is a potent hallucinogenic drug derived from lysergic acid that is typically taken orally. Users experience intense distortions of sensory perception, emotions, and sense of self that can last up to 12 hours. High doses of LSD can cause extreme hallucinations, altered senses of time and reality, panic, and feelings of despair. While LSD is not considered addictive, users may experience flashbacks of their trips long after use. The specific effects of LSD and other hallucinogens on the human brain remain largely unknown due to a lack of controlled research studies.
What is LSD
LSD is a potent hallucinogenic drug synthesized from lysergic acid. It was first synthesized in 1938 but its effects were not realized until years later. It sparked interest as a psychiatric drug to treat mental illness and enhance therapy or creativity. While hundreds of thousands were prescribed it, it ultimately found no real medical use. LSD takes effect within an hour, causing unpredictable changes in sensory perception and emotions that can last over 12 hours. It carries risks of dangerous physical effects and "bad trips" involving extremely distressing hallucinations, paranoia, or trauma.

Legally Restricted Drugs in Our Society - Part II
Hallucinogens
This week, we turn to the very fascinating topics of hallucinogenic drugs and marijuana. Like some of the previous drugs we have studied, these drugs have existed in various natural forms for many thousands of years and, at various times in societies, have been held in high regard and, at other times, viewed with contempt and derision. It is interesting to note how societal norms, the practices of various religions, political and social movements, medical treatments, and expectations with regard to behavior all influence whether the manufacture, distribution, and use of these classes of drugs are deemed appropriate or not across societies. In fact, you can see the varying opinions that institutions and groups of individuals have held regarding this class of substances as they have been described as “mind expanding” to those who are accepting and “mind disrupting” by those who are alarmed by their use over the years. It is interesting to note that there has only been one documented fatality that can be ascribed to LSD ingestion since 1960.

Lsd
LSD was created by Albert Hofmann while searching for a stimulant. Its psychedelic effects were discovered when Hofmann accidentally consumed some. Its use increased in the 1960s due to psychologist Timothy Leary advocating its recreational use. LSD alters perceptions and mood but can have harmful physical, mental, and social effects like hallucinations, panic attacks, and difficulty determining what is real. While it may have medical uses, its legal status and unpredictable effects when mixed with other substances make its recreational use dangerous.
Lsd presentation
LSD is a hallucinogenic drug synthesized in 1938. It causes visual hallucinations and alters perceptions of time and self. LSD is typically taken orally by absorbing blotter paper, liquid drops, or tablets that have been soaked in the drug. Effects begin within 90 minutes and can last up to 12 hours, causing dilated pupils, increased heart rate, and sensations that sounds and colors are merging. Around 200,000 people use LSD for the first time each year according to surveys, taking it for its psychedelic and recreational effects.
LSD
LSD is a powerful hallucinogenic drug also known as acid. It causes users to experience distorted perceptions and sensations, and trips can be either pleasantly relaxing or frighteningly confusing. While some users enjoy the drug's effects, taking LSD also carries risks like bad trips, flashbacks, self-harm, and potential problems for those with mental health issues. LSD is illegal in most places.
LSD - effects and facts
We described in this presentation the-short term and long-term effects of LSD consumption and shared some general facts about the drug.
Lsd
LSD is a synthetic hallucinogenic drug discovered in 1938 that was widely experimented with and used recreationally in the 1960s but is now illegal; it produces vivid visual hallucinations and alters thinking when taken in doses of 100-200 micrograms but can also cause anxiety, paranoia, and flashbacks, with rare potential long-term psychological risks if used heavily or by those with mental illness. Harm reduction principles for guiding someone on an LSD trip focus on creating a safe environment without interference while talking through the experience afterwards.
Forensic lsd
This document provides an overview of LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide), including its history, chemistry, forms, effects on the body, and forensic analysis. LSD is a potent hallucinogenic drug derived from ergot fungus. It was first synthesized in 1938 and experienced psychedelic effects when accidentally consumed by its inventor in 1943. LSD binds to serotonin receptors in the brain, blocking neural messages and redirecting impulses to areas controlling senses and movement, causing hallucinations. Its effects depend on dosage but can include altered thinking and perceptions. Forensic analysis identifies LSD using chemical spot tests and instrumental methods like HPLC and GC-MS.
HALLUCINOGENS-PPT.pptx
Hallucinogens are substances that cause powerful changes in sensory perception and induce hallucinations. Common hallucinogens include LSD, mescaline, psilocybin, and MDMA. Hallucinogen use has been associated with panic attacks, persisting perception disorders, psychosis, and mood disorders. The discovery of LSD in 1943 increased misuse due to its potency and ease of production. Hallucinogens work by interfering with neurotransmitter action or binding to receptor sites. Effects of LSD and PCP include hallucinations, altered cognition and mood, feelings of detachment, and psychosis. Flashbacks and persisting disorders may occur after hallucinogen use.
Chapter 12 Hallucinogens
The document provides an overview of the four main classes of hallucinogenic drugs: serotonergic hallucinogens like LSD and psilocybin; methylated amphetamines like MDMA; anticholinergic hallucinogens found in plants; and dissociative anesthetics like PCP. It discusses the history of hallucinogen use from the 1960s counterculture movement to current trends, physiological and psychological effects of different classes of drugs, risks and adverse effects, and mechanisms of action in the brain.

LSD, also known as acid, is a hallucinogenic drug that was first synthesized in 1938. It alters the user's perceptions and mental state by agonizing D2 receptors in the brain. Some key points about LSD include:
- It is administered orally and its effects can last 8-12 hours, causing visual hallucinations and distorted senses of time and identity.
- Potential short-term side effects include anxiety, panic attacks, depression, while long-term effects may include flashbacks or psychosis.
- While it was once used experimentally in psychotherapy, its medical uses are limited due to its strong psychoactive effects. Mixing LSD and alcohol can potentially cause respiratory
Lsd
LSD is a hallucinogenic drug that was first synthesized in 1938 and became popular in the 1960s. It alters perceptions of time, identity, and causes hallucinations. While not physically addictive, LSD is still dangerous and is classified as a schedule 1 drug due to its high potential for abuse. There are no approved medical uses for LSD and possession or distribution can carry heavy criminal penalties.

https://www.blvdcenters.org/ .... 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.
Drug project
LSD comes from a fungus called Ergot that grows on rye and wheat. It is classified as a hallucinogen and has no accepted medical uses. When taken, LSD can cause hallucinations and alter a person's perception of reality. It affects multiple body systems like the respiratory system where it can lead to cardiac arrest or the digestive system where it can cause ulcers or liver damage. Mixing LSD with other drugs increases the risks of an adverse reaction like unconsciousness or death. Long term use has been linked to disrupted sleep and impacts on serotonin levels in the brain.
Club drugs
Club drugs refer to drugs made by underground chemists and sold to enhance social settings like raves and clubs. These drugs have unpredictable ingredients which makes their effects difficult to determine. The six main club drugs according to the FBI are MDMA (ecstasy), GHB, methamphetamine, ketamine, Rohypnol, and LSD. People use club drugs to feel loving, increase energy, relax, detach from reality, or escape from stress, depression or difficult situations in their lives. Prevention includes limiting access to the drugs, education on risks, and addressing underlying problems influencing drug use.

- Marijuana can be addictive, with some frequent, heavy users developing tolerance and experiencing withdrawal symptoms like irritability and sleeplessness when trying to quit.
- Long-term marijuana abuse can lead to addiction and negatively impact social functioning and intellectual ability due to effects on learning and memory that persist after the drug wears off.
- While most teens do not use marijuana, current rates of teen use are around one in six for 10th graders and fewer than one in five for high school seniors.
Pit Bulls
Pit bulls tend to be very affectionate dogs that crave love and attention from their owners. However, they are often surrendered by owners due to dog aggression issues, high energy levels that owners cannot handle, or because of breed-specific legislation banning pit bulls. While pit bulls do well with children if raised properly, their exuberance as puppies can sometimes knock young children over accidentally. House training a pit bull varies depending on the training method, but generally they are intelligent dogs that are eager to please their owners.
Magic Mushrooms
Magic mushrooms, also known as shrooms, are a hallucinogenic mushroom that can be eaten or brewed as tea. They contain the psychoactive compounds psilocybin and psilocyn. When consumed, they initially cause nausea and then mild altered perceptions and distortions of the senses. Effects vary per use and can include feelings of euphoria but also paranoia, anxiety, and terrifying thoughts. Long term, some may experience flashbacks of hallucinations long after use. Street names include caps, shrooms, and psilocybin. Effects are dose dependent but include relaxation, intensified colors, visual hallucinations, and feelings of euphoria lasting 4-5 hours. However, there are
Cocaine
Cocaine is a powerfully addictive stimulant drug that directly affects the brain. It is one of the oldest known drugs, extracted from coca leaves which have been used for thousands of years. In the 19th century, pure cocaine was extracted from the coca bush and became a popular stimulant in medical tonics. Cocaine abuse has a long history in the U.S. and is deeply rooted in drug culture due to its intense euphoric effects and strong addictive potential. The availability and purity of cocaine, including its freebase and crack forms, continue to burden law enforcement and healthcare systems.
ecstasy
XTC, also known as MDMA, is a stimulant drug that is often sold in pill form. It can cause feelings of euphoria and intimacy as well as physical side effects like increased heart rate, dehydration, and panic attacks. Long term use has been linked to depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. While not physically addictive, some users report mental dependence on the drug's effects. Fear and panic attacks while using can be reduced by ensuring one is in a good mental state before taking the drug. If an overdose occurs, remaining calm and seeking medical help is important.

- 1. LSD
- 2. Dangers LSD is generally considered nontoxic, although it may temporarily impair the ability to make sensible judgments and understand common dangers, thus making the user more susceptible to accidents and personal injury.
- 3. Flashbacks "Flashbacks" are a reported psychological phenomenon in which an individual experiences an episode of some of LSD's subjective effects long after the drug has worn off — usually in the days after typical doses. In some rarer cases, flashbacks have lasted longer, but are generally short-lived and mild compared to the actual LSD "trip." Flashbacks can incorporate both positive and negative aspects of LSD trips. Flashbacks have proven difficult to study and are no longer officially recognized as a psychiatric syndrome. However, colloquial usage of the term persists and usually refers to any drug-free experience reminiscent of psychedelic drug effects, with the typical connotation that the episodes are of short duration.
- 5. Chemist Albert Hofmann, working at the Sandoz Corporation pharmaceutical laboratory in Switzerland, first synthesized LSD in 1938. He was conducting research on possible medical applications of various lysergic acid compounds derived from ergot, a fungus that develops on rye grass. Searching for compounds with therapeutic value, Hofmann created more than two dozen ergot-derived synthetic molecules
- 6. LSD is sold on the street in tablets, capsules, and occasionally in liquid form. It is an odorless and colorless substance with a slightly bitter taste that is usually ingested orally. It is often added to absorbent paper, such as blotter paper, and divided into small decorated squares, with each square representing one dose.
- 7. STREET TERMS Acid, blotter acid, window pane, dots, mellow yellow
- 8. SHORT-TERM EFFECTS The short-term effects of LSD are unpredictable. They depend on the amount of the drug taken; the user's personality, mood, and expectations; and the surroundings in which the drug is used. Usually, the user feels the first effects of the drug within 30 to 90 minutes of ingestion. These experiences last for extended periods of time and typically begin to clear after about 12 hours. The physical effects include dilated pupils, higher body temperature, increased heart rate and blood pressure, sweating, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, dry mouth, and tremors. Sensations may seem to "cross over" for the user, giving the feeling of hearing colors and seeing sounds. If taken in a large enough dose, the drug produces delusions and visual hallucinations.
- 9. LONG-TERM EFFECTS LSD users often have flashbacks, during which certain aspects of their LSD experience recur even though they have stopped taking the drug. In addition, LSD users may develop long-lasting psychoses, such as schizophrenia or severe depression. LSD is not considered an addictive drug - that is, it does not produce compulsive drug-seeking behavior as cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine do. However, LSD users may develop tolerance to the drug, meaning that they must consume progressively larger doses of the drug in order to continue to experience the hallucinogenic effects that they seek
- 10. USER POPULATION LSD is abused by teenagers and young adults in connection with raves, nightclubs and concert settings. Approximately 1.9% of eighth graders, 2.5% of tenth graders, and 3.5% of twelfth graders surveyed as part of the 2005 study reported lifetime use of LSD. Approximately 44% of eighth graders, 60.8% of tenth graders, and 69.9% of twelfth graders surveyed in 2005 reported that taking LSD regularly was a "great risk." Additional survey results indicate that 5.6% of college students and 13.4% of young adults reported lifetime use of LSD.
