LSD's
D-Lysergic Acid Diethylamide. A semisynthetic psychedelic first synthesized in 1938 by Swiss chemist
Albert Hofmann, later used in psychiatric research and mind-control projects by the CIA (
MKULTRA). LSD gained popularity in the 60s with the counterculture, and was quickly criminalized in 1966 in the US. It is a solid crystal, melting at app 175 deg. F, although it is highly unstable and is destroyed by heat, air, and esp. Chlorine.Dose: LSD is most commonly found on
blotting paper, sometimes in
sugar cubes, aqueous form, or as small pills called
microdots. The threshold is 20mcg (mcg-microgram is one millionth of a gram). In the 60s you could find doses about 500mcg, nowadays a usual dose is around 20-100
mcg, commonly in the lower range. Thus LSD is never sold
adulterated, it's impossible, but it is not uncommon to find other psychoactives such as MDMA laced with LSD.Effects: Come up is 30 min-1 1/2 hr, a trip lasts 6-14 hours depending mainly on dosage. LSD causes blood pressure and heart rate to increase, as well as
salivation and perspiration. Extreme emotional changes take place; whether they are good or bad depends on set and setting. Time and space are heavily distorted, surfaces may seem to ripple like water, walls might appear to breathe; sounds are also quite distorted. A crossing of stimuli normally takes place, this means one senses, most commonly, seeing sound, or tasting color. LSD can also cause nausea, panic, and, at much higher doses, psychotomimetic effects.
Traffick: Since the early 21st century, the price of LSD has risen dramatically. Another definition says it is one of the cheapest drugs; this is untrue. It is one of the cheapest drugs to manufacture, but the consumer can expect to pay $10/hit, $90 for ten, or sometimes 2 for $15. The price rose about 6 years ago after the
Pickard/
Apperson bust. Pickard/Apperson labs were responsible for the majority of acid produced domestically; about 100 clandestine acid labs remain in the US, most in northern Cali.Chemistry: LSD is synthesized most commonly from
lysergic acid, or lysergic acid amides which are found in
Morning Glory seeds, Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds,
Ergot (a fungus that grows on rye), and possibly sleepy grass. LSD production requires many organic solvents, app. $5000 worth of glassware, and a couple years of organic chemistry. It is very difficult and dangerous, don't try it at home.Toxicity/Myth Debunking: LSD is non-toxic to the body, the
LD50 is somewhere in the 12,000-14,000 microgram range; the only overdose involved 360,000 mcg of LSD... most acid chemists don't even manufacture that much in one batch. It does NOT stay in your
spinal fluid (flash backs and
HPPD are rare psychiatric disorders), it is metabolized rather quickly into an inactive analogue. It does NOT cause your brain to bleed. Most acid heads will tell you it does, but acid heads are morons. Strokes, intracranial hemorrhaging,
CVA, and annuerysms cause your brain to bleed, not acid.LSD is a rather sophisticated and complex drug, so basically... It makes you trip balls!

D-Lysergic Acid Diethylamide
Synthetic chemical which, when taken orally or, less commonly, in the lining of an eyelid or nostril, is the most potent
hallucinogen known to the common public.
One of the cheapest drugs available, it is neither addictive nor physically dangerous. Taken by an intelligent, open-minded person, it can create fantastic revelations and experiences.
It is not a good party drug, and, in a
hostile environment such as a party, it can lead to what is known as a 'bad trip', where the person under the influence of the substance in question has an experience which is totally frightening. Fear, depression and anger are accentuated to fill the entire body to a point where entire thought patterns are controlled by these emotions.
The same accentuation goes for happiness and relaxation, often leading to a state of artificial nirvana, the only difference being that the person is absolutely suggestible and can lose the ability to reason.
Example:
It's funny how there are actually quite a few serious definitions of LSD on
UrbanDictionary.
The ignorant and
uneducated fear LSD, but the intelligent, after reading about its effects, are the ones who try it, taking special care about risks and so on.
It is only when one becomes cocky and stupid that LSD causes bad effects.

Love Simple
Deathless
LSD can expand your awareness and perception. It can evolve your understanding of life, the universe and love and the nature of reality and yourself. It's huge! It can be incredibly theraputic. It is very important to be with someone who is NOT judgemental and someone you TRUST. Who will be a "
trip sitter" with you - whom you can talk to and share your insights and feelings if you need to. I highly reccomend being in nature as a way to connect to life. That is Sooo MUCH better than tripping in
man made and other artificial unnatural environments. I love music etc., but solitude is very important to process the insights that come up.
Example:
Safety, trust and nature - are VERY important when you are tripping - for you are VULNERABLE when you are tripping. It is possible to have a
bad trip if someone predatory violates your trust - like a cop or a sexual perv for example. On a 'bad trip' instead of connecting to life and love, LSD reinforces your fears instead of your capacity to feel, recieve and give love. Be careful! cuz LSD can have _long lasting_ postive or negative effects. At its best, LSD is transcendental and can help you advance your consciousness. I prefer psychdelic mushrooms instead of
synthetic drugs. In
anycase, approach with respect and don't give into fear. Its not just about recreation but about wisdom and evolving your consciousness as a human being.

"its been proven to increase your risk of psychotic illnesses and depression, and organisations like the
armed forces will not take anyone who has ever done
LSD in their lives."
nobody listen to this fucktard. it's been proven to increase ANY feeling. euphoria, depression, etc.
and the armed forces don't reject
lsd users, it's the other
goddamned way around. it's pretty funny how consistently the media will spin the truth
180 degrees. the army tested it on soldiers and the very first thing they wanted to do was get the hell out of the armed forces. so if you take lsd, don't worry about joining the army, because you won't want to anyway.
Example:
dock ellis pitched a
no hitter on lsd.
francis crick discovered the double
helix on lsd.
eminem thought of the slim shady alias on lsd.
the lsd fueled 60's was musically, the best decade.
etc.,etc.
"Kyle: Well… maybe I'll take just half a hit of acid."
"Ike: I want three. ..."
