What Type of Drug is it?
Well, it is quite the wild, crazed
kind… a Hallucinogen, in
fact.
LSD is created with a component
called lysergic acid, in
laboratories, also it’s a natural drug
that is found in nature.
Hallucinogens are drugs that twist reality by
making you feel, see, smell, and hear non-existing events and items. Oh my, what an insane time,
that must be!
History
In 1906, a researcher at Sandoz Laboratories, created the first tray of the drug five years earlier.
The hallucinogen eff ects were discovered by Hofmann, accidentally swallowing it.
LSD was discovered in 1943 by two Swiss chemists known as Arthur Stoll & Albert Hofmann.

it legal or not? Of course, it is illegal! It has been since October 24th, 1967, In USA. Once a fading trend, it was brought back by the rave culture.

How is it Taken?

Think about how easy, and simple it is to obtain this powerful, illegal, mind-altering drug. Long-term effects will follow, so stay on the right track!
Trippin’ on LSDYou know how when watching a movie,
or reading a book, you never know what could possibly happen next… that is what LSD is like. Highly unpredictable, however, side effects are sure to come! “Trips” are one of the effects of the drug that alters the user’s thoughts, senses, and movement, for 10-12 hours, and it can be terrible or pleasant, while being anxious, confused, or terrified.

~Effects~
What are the Dangers? Hallucinations, health issues, and, a trip to the hospital, oh my! An LSD User may see snow in July, peel themselves because they think they are an orange, believe they can fly… even though they may be off in their own world, there is a point of no return, which is a peril, hurting themselves and others; whether a pleasure or a terror. It is a treacherously example of a drug, with high chances of aggressive behavior when experiencing a wicked trip, distorting their thoughts thinking innocent people are threats. Here is a real description of a user…
What are the Dangers?
"After taking the acid, I imagined that we had driven head-on into an eighteen-wheeler and were killed. I could hear the screeching metal, then a dark and evil quiet. I was terrified at this point; I actually thought we were dead...For a year I wouldn’t go into any cemetery because I was terrified I would find my own grave.”
—Jenny
