LSD

What is Amphetamine?

LSD is a powerful synthetic hallucinogen that alters perception, mood, and cognition by stimulating serotonin receptors in the brain. It is known for producing intense sensory distortions, changes in thought patterns, and vivid visual hallucinations. LSD has no accepted medical use in the United States and is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance, indicating high potential for abuse and no approved therapeutic application.

LSD is typically sold in liquid form, which is then distributed onto blotter paper—small squares decorated with colorful designs. It can also appear as tablets (“microdots”), gelatin squares (“window panes”), or as a pure liquid in small vials. Users usually place blotter paper under the tongue or swallow it, though some ingest tablets or liquid directly. Its effects can last 8–12 hours.

Effects:

• Visual hallucinations and distorted perceptions

• Altered sense of time (time speeding up or slowing down)

• Intensified colors, sounds, and sensory experiences

• Emotional swings ranging from euphoria to anxiety

• Impaired judgment and reduced ability to assess risk

• Increased heart rate and blood pressure

• Dilated pupils

• Sweating or chills

• Difficulty concentrating or communicating

• Possibility of panic reactions or “bad trips”
