Methods of Abuse
Orally
Affect of LSD on the Mind
During the first hour after ingestion, users may
experience visual changes with extreme changes in mood. While hallucinating, the user may suffer impaired depth and time perception
accompanied by distorted perception of the shape and size of objects, movements, colors, sound, touch and the user's own body
image.
The ability to make sound judgments and see common
dangers is impaired, making the user susceptible to personal injury. It is possible for users to suffer acute anxiety and
depression after an LSD "trip" and flashbacks have been reported days, and even months, after taking the last dose.

body temperature, increased heart rate and blood pressure, sweating, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, dry mouth, and tremors.
