A potent hallucinogen that produces psychotic symptoms and behavior such as hallucinations, illusions, body and time-space distortions, and, less commonly, intense panic or mystical experiences.<\/p>\n
A semisynthetic hallucinogen derived from the fungus, ergot.<\/p>\n
A powerful hallucinogenic drug which can cause psychosis.<\/p>\n
A psychedelic drug that is also a hallucinogen. It has been used to aid treatment of psychological disorders. Side-effects include digestive upsets, dizziness, tingling, anxiety, sweating, dilated pupils, muscle incoordination, and tremor. Alterations in sight, hearing, and other senses occur, psychotic effects, depression, and confusion are common, and tolerance to the drug develops rapidly. Because of these toxic effects, LSD is used only to treat severe cases.<\/p>\n
Lysergic acid diethylamide belongs to the ergot group of alkaloids. It has various effects on the brain, notably analgesic and hallucinogenic, thought to be due to its antagonism of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). In small doses it induces psychic states, in which the individual may become aware of repressed memories. For this reason it may help in the treatment of certain anxiety states, if used under skilled supervision. LSD rapidly induces tolerance, however, and psychological dependence may occur, although not physical dependence. Serious side-effects include psychotic reactions, with an increased risk of suicide.<\/p>\n
A hallucinogenic derivative of an alkaloid in ergot. LSD is used legally only for experimental purposes.<\/p>\n
A controlled substance and a dangerous and unpredictable hallucinogenic drug. This illegal drug is manufactured from lysergic acid found in ergot, a fungus that grows on rye and other grains. It is commonly referred to as acid on the street and is sold in many forms, including tablets, gelatin chips, and thin squares of absorbent paper soaked in liquid LSD.<\/p>\n
The acronym for lysergic acid diethylamide, a synthetic hallucinogenic substance originating from the ergot fungus. LSD is illicitly employed for recreational purposes. It induces visual and occasional auditory hallucinations (perceptions without external triggers), along with unique emotional conditions like “mystical” encounters. Users might also develop unconventional thoughts, including a false belief in their ability to fly without assistance.<\/p>\n
LSD can occasionally trigger panic and give rise to physical symptoms like nausea and dizziness. Moreover, those who have frequently consumed it might undergo “flashbacks” (instances of the hallucinatory experiences) for several months or even years after their most recent usage. While LSD isn’t considered addictive, habitual users swiftly build up a tolerance to its effects.<\/p>\n
