Ingestion

The user will initially feel disorientated and confused. LSD trips vary from person to person but most people experience hallucinations of one kind or another such as distotions in the size and shape of objects, there are also effects of sound and colour. The majority of the effects are psychological or emotional in nature. The intensity and nature of the trip can be affected by the environment they are in as well as their emotional state prior to taking the drug. The user can experience 'good' or 'bad' trips or a combination of the two. Trips can last up to 8 or 12 hours.

LSD can trigger underlying mental health problems and produce delusions, paranoia and schizophrenia-like states. Bad trips can be accompanied by anxiety, fear, paranoia or depression. The trip-induced distortions of the environment make sit difficult for the user to assess risks therefore it is extremely dangerous to drive or use machinery when 'tripping' or to be near a busy road. There are no long-term physical dangers due to LSD use and no evidence of brain damage.

There is no physical dependence to LSD but some users may develop a psychological dependence. Tolerance developes very quickly and after a few days of use of the drug will no longer have any effect unless abstinence is observed for a few days.

LSD is a class A drug and therefore is illegal to possses, supply or produce or to allow premeisis to be used for such activities.
