Find a Reputable LSD Addiction Recovery Hotline
Lysergic acid diethylamide, more commonly known as LSD, is a Schedule I drug in the United States. Users might refer to the drug as “acid,” “tabs,” “sugar cubes,” “hits” or “doses.” Though the drug isn’t available by prescription, people can buy the drug on the street, and it is one of the more commonly abused hallucinogens. LSD typically comes in a solid or liquid form. In its solid form, you place a dose of the drug on your tongue and let it dissolve. Users can take the liquid form by mouth or place it in their eyes, and it also comes in a gelatin form.
What Happens to Those Who Use LSD?
“LSD is a hallucinogen that can cause the user to experience auditory and visual hallucinations.”LSD is a hallucinogen that can cause the user to experience auditory and visual hallucinations. One dose of the drug can cause dry mouth, tremors, mood swings, changes in appetite, changes in behavior, and changes in blood pressure. According to The Partnership at Drugfree,org, LSD can also cause flashbacks. Flashbacks occur when a user suddenly feels as if he or she is reliving a past event. A flashback can occur months or even years after a user stops taking LSD, although they are rare.
Who Uses LSD?
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, more than 770,000 people over the age of 12 admitted to using LSD in the last year. The same study found that more than 2 percent of high school seniors used the drug in the past 12 months. People who take LSD do so because of the “trips” that the drug causes. This means it changes the way a person experiences the world. When taking the drug for the first time, you might experience:
- Visual hallucinations
- Feeling as if you can taste colors and smells
- An inability to sleep
- Hearing odd noises
A single trip can last for up to 12 hours or longer, and the effects of taking LSD can worsen if you mix it with other drugs or alcohol. While LSD isn’t an addictive drug, you can develop a tolerance to the substance, which means that you need a larger amount the longer you use it.
