LSD
LSD, is a wildly hallucinogenic drug with the pharmacutical name lysergic acid diethylamide. LSD is non addictive. It was very popular in the 1960's and was made famous by a California college professor named Dr. Timothy Leary. He became entrenched with the rock and roll drug culture and hung out with all the famous rock groups like the Beatles, The rolling stones and the moody Blues just to name a few. Incidently, I was too young to have seen Timothy Leary in the 1960's, but I did see him on stage in Chicago in 1987 and he was quite a character, though a highly intelligent man. He was fired from his job as a teacher because he conducted experiments with his students by having them take LSD and write about it.








Effects of LSD


When consumed, LSD causes hallucinations that warp the senses of time and space. The user sees walls breath and trees appear to be on fire. Square rooms will turn round and laughter can occur in burts for no reason at all. The high will ware off in 4-6 hours. The come down usually happens all of a sudden. It is really a wildly mind bending experience. Believe me I know because I have tried LSD about 40 times. LSD is non addictive. It is only a drug of abuse. When you have taken the drug for 4 or 5 days in a row you are unable to take the drug again and "get off" until you wait about a week for the drug to clear from your body. There is a simular drug to LSD called mescaline. It is very common and has the same effects as LSD. It is very hard to tell the difference between the two drugs. Although I have niticed that mesculine seems to make you speed more than true LSD.

The most common street names for LSD is: window pane, acid, white blotter, dots, pane, superman, blotter.

LSD is often sold on tiny peices of paper and called blotter, or it is applied to sugar cubes, gelitan squares, and tablets.

LSD is most often taken by mouth. Although the famous rock star Jimi Hendricks would put lsd in his bandanna and tie the bandanna to his head. And when he would perform, he would sweat and the LSD would be released from his bandanna and enter into his body through the pores in his skin. LSD has a slightly bitter and metallic taste. LSD is colorless and odorless.

Government statistics on LSD about who uses the drug

Who uses LSD?
Individuals of all ages use LSD. Data reported in the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse indicate that an estimated 20.2 million U.S. residents aged 12 and older used LSD at least once in their lifetime. The survey also revealed that many teenagers and young adults use LSD--742,000 individuals aged 12 to 17 and 4.5 million individuals aged 18 to 25 used the drug at least once.
LSD use among high school students is a particular concern. More than 8 percent of high school seniors in the United States used the drug at least once in their lifetime, and nearly 4 percent used the drug in the past year, according to the University of Michigan's Monitoring the Future Survey. government statistics.

What are the risks?
The effects associated with LSD use are unpredictable and depend upon the amount taken, the surroundings in which the drug is used, and the user's personality, mood, and expectations. Some LSD users experience a feeling of despair, while others report terrifying fears--of losing control, going insane, or dying. Some users have suffered fatal accidents while under the influence of LSD.
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. more government statistics
