> Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD)
> LSD), a potent hallucinogenic drug, also called a psychedelic,

> is a white odorless drug, a component of the mold of ERGOT. Ergot is a
> product of the fungus Claviceps purpurea. Th e bio-active ingredients

> derivative of lysergic acid. Thus LSD is an "ergot" - like substance.
> The
> drug evokes dreamlike changes in mood and thought and alters the
> perception of time
> and space. It can also create a feeling of lack of self-control and
> extreme terror. Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD) also goes by names
> like:
> acid, sugar, Blotter, Sugar Cubes, Blue Unicorn, Acid, Cid, Sid, Bart
> Simpsons, Barrels, Tabs, Blotter, Heaven ly blue, 'L', liquid liquid,
> Microdots, Mind detergent, Orange cubes, Orange micro, Owsley, Wedding
> Bells, windowpane, etc.
> LSD is very potent: the effective dose is measured in micrograms
> (ug) -- however, the lethal dose is literally thousands of times that,
> making the drug essentially non-toxic. LSD is non-addictive, and there
> have been only a few cases of possible overdose
> where people ingested extremely large amounts of the drug (Alan et

> 1978; Griggs et al,. 1977). LSD can be administered a number of ways,

> by pill ; intravenously or intramu scularly. A standard dose with
> noticeable hallucinogenic effects is about 100-200 ug. The intensity
> of
> the trip is proportional to the size of the dose-- it is interesting
> to
> note, though, that the duration of the trip seems to stay the same at
> higher dos es (Freedman, 1984). Physical effects include drowsiness,
> dizziness, dilated pupils, numbness and tingling, weakness, tremors,
> and
> nausea. Transient abnormal thinking induced by LSD, such as a sense of
> omnipotence or a state of acute paranoia, can result in dangerous
> behavior. Long-term adverse reactions such as persistent psychosis,
> prolonged depression, or faulty judgment have also been reported
> following
> LSD ingestion but whether these are a direct result of ingestion is
> difficult to establish. Althoug h LSD is not physiologically
> addicting,
> the drug's potent mind-altering effects can lead to chronic use. In
> the
> 1960's LSD use was widespread among people who sought to alter and
> intensify their physical senses; to achieve supposed insights into the
> unive rse, nature, and themselves; and to intensify emotional
> connections
> with others. The drug has been tried as a treatment for infantile
> autism,
> for alcoholism, and to accelerate psychotherapy, but no medical use
> has
> been established. Non-medical use is ille gal in the U.S.
> The LSD experience is usually described as a 'trip' because it is
> like a journey to another place. This experience may be broken up into
> four different 'phases'.
>
> THE ONSET- Thirty minutes to an hour after being taken, colors appear
> sharper, moving objects leave traces behind them. Repeated patterns
> may be
> seen with eyes closed.
>
> THE PLATEAU-Over the second hour, the effects become more intense.
> Patterns are now visible with eyes open. Fantastic visions appear from
> nowhere-from shapes in smoke, to lines on the palms of the hand.
>
> THE PEAK- Time is slowed to a standstill. Trippers may feel they are
> in a
> different world. For some this may be profound and mystical, for
> others it
> can be very frightening. The sense of reality is altered-people may
> feel
> feelings of flight, or feel they can breathe underwater like a fish.

> THE COMEDOWN- Five or six hours after taking the drug the sensations
