LSD – Effects and facts
LSD, also known as acid, is one of the most potent mood-
changing chemicals around; even if consumed in tiny amounts, it
can still produce 12 hours or more of unpredictable effects. The
drug is derived from a very poisonous ergot fungus, a mold that
grows on grains. LSD is a psychedelic drug which has
psychological effects and it is commonly used as a recreational
drug or for spiritual reasons.

LSD – Effects and facts
Physical effects of LSD:

- Increased temperature
- High blood pressure
- Increased heart rate
- Sweating and nausea

LSD – Effects and facts
Even though the effects of LSD are more pronounced on a mental
rather than physical level, some consequences linger following long
term use of the drug. First of all, individuals can develop tolerance for
the drug, and then require a larger dose of LSD for the desired effects.
If the dose is too high, this can lead to a life threatening level of
toxicity. A cardiovascular collapse or sudden heart failure is also a high
possibility following a long term use of the drug.
Mixing LSD with other drugs poses a serious health risk and can also
drastically increase the chances of a bad trip. Mixed with alcohol, LSD
can cause nausea and vomiting.

LSD – Effects and facts
Psychological effects of LSD:
- Euphoria and well being
- Hallucinations (seeing/hearing things that aren’t there)
- Confusion and trouble concentrating
- The delusion that one has extreme mental clarity
- Unusual thoughts and increase in associative and creative thinking
- Over-awareness and over-sensitivity to music and noise
- Paranoia, fear and panic
- Occasional bad trips; so powerful that the effects can be irreversible
(especially among people that have mental health issues in their
family)

LSD – Effects and facts
The mental effects of LSD are unpredictable and differ a lot
based on the drug dose. Effects usually start to show 30-45
minutes after consumption and can last from 3 to 12 hours
(factors that can influence this are the user’s metabolism, the
tolerance level towards the drug, etc.).
There can also be psychological long term effects of consuming
the drug such as flashbacks, paranoia or even psychosis. The
flashbacks can occur a few weeks, a few months or even a few
years after consumption and can last for a minute or two.
