LSD

Because LSD is taken in very small amounts, it is usually dissolved and applied as a micro-dot to pills, sugar cubes, slips of celluloid, pieces of blotting paper or decorative stickers.

LSD takes effect in twenty minutes and the effects last from six to eight hours.  It is not known exactly how LSD exerts its effect on the mind, but we do know that tolerance to the drug rapidly develops.  Also, the higher the dose, the more likely a bad trip or "bummer" will result.  LSD produces both sensory and emotional changes as well as an increase in blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature.  When using LSD, one can experience tremors, weakness, and chills.  With an overdose, there are usually convulsions and coma followed by cardiac and respiratory failure.

In addition to the perceptual changes mentioned previously, the emotional changes brought on by LSD include panic attacks, depression, and a feeling of loss of control of one’s mind.
