First of all, it should be noted that LSD is the strongest chemical hallucinogen that has the most unexpected effect on the mind. It is obtained from lysergic acid, and it is found in mold and ergot. For the first time, the chemist from Switzerland Albert Hofmann (in 1938) was studying the question of what LSD is, or rather, its synthesis, while working on blood stimulants. However, the psychotropic effect of this substance was discovered by scientists much later, in 1943, when he accidentally took a little of this drug. In the 60s of the last century, many psychiatrists investigated the effect of LSD, even planning to treat schizophrenia with it. Thus, numerous free samples of the drug became available, its distribution began, especially among young people. In the 80s, the level of LSD use fell sharply, but in the 90s it went up again, the drug began to be widely distributed by adolescents in nightclubs and discos.
LSD Characteristics
Everyone should know what LSD is, in what form the drug is sold in order to avoid its accidental and extremely undesirable use. It is known not only under the name “acid,” and other names are used: white lightning, green dragon, window frame, Lucy, twins, malek, trip, blotter, superman, zen and some others. LSD is illegally sold in tablets, capsules, and sometimes special paper is impregnated with a substance and cut into “stamps”.

The effect of the drug and its danger
No one knows in advance what effect LSD will have on one or another organism, since it depends on many factors (human mood, amount taken, personal characteristics). Even taking a minimal amount can immerse a person in a “trip”, which from English translates as “travel”. This change in consciousness can last 12 hours, and sometimes more.
As a rule, a person begins to feel any effect of the drug about an hour after taking it. Physiological characteristics also begin to change, namely, body temperature, pressure, and pulse change. Throughout the entire duration of the action of LSD, the ability to reason sensibly is disturbed, sharp mood swings begin , the appearance of various hallucinations is observed, a person under the influence of this drug is not at all capable of feeling reality. As a result, a person cannot control himself and his behavior under the influence of LSD is unpredictable. If he sees a bright sun and a flower meadow, this is one thing, but if he runs to the street to escape from a certain monster or steps out the window to escape from monsters, this is completely different.
LSD is able to activate subconscious processes, which means drug use can reveal latent mental problems. It can provoke the appearance of schizophrenia and other permanent mental disorders. LSD has the property of being deposited in the human body, if you take it regularly, then each time you need to increase the dose, which also exacerbates the effect of the drug and may well lead to psychosis.
