LSD (D-Lysergic Acid Diethylamide) is a synthetic hallucigenic drug, although it doesn't produce hallucinations but more severe distortions of the senses and thinking.
It was synthized By Albert Hoffman from Ergotamine which is found in the deadly poisonous Ergot Fungus that used to grow on crops. it gives hallucinations and gangreen.
LSD's treshhold dose is 25 micrograms. Common taken doses are about 100 micrograms. It is usually taken in the form of paper blotters; small pieces of absorbant paper with some liquid LSD sprayed on them.
The effects are mood-changes, a lot of them, visual tracers, colors, synthesia, and other 'distortions' of the senses. With higher doses everything seems to melt, move and change around you. Your thoughts become bizarre and often confused.
Very low doses give the feeling of being stoned.
The effects last 8 to 12 hours, depending on the dose and the indifidual.
There have been accidents on LSD, even suicides, but compared to other drugs not many at all.
It was used mostly in the 60th's, untill it got made illigal and people started speading nonsense about it.
It can cause schitzophrenia in sensitive people; and post-traumatic stress after a bad trip (which means nothing more then that you fought of the effect too mch) and in some cazes flashbacks (random comming back of the effect).
Lsd is not very dangerous, its not poisionous and its LD50 is far above the user dose. The psychological effects are more dangerous in that. You need almost grams to get you killed and take micrograms as effect. Blotters of paper can not contain enough of other drugs to give you dangerous ammounts of that.
Psysically it causes a raised bloodpressure, faster heartbeat, temperature increase, sweatyness, thighning of the neckmuscles and sometimes nausea and dizzyness. Most people hardly notice this trough the mind-effects.
Should still be used with causion.
