What is it made of?
LSD (Acid) is synthesized from ergot, a fungus that grows mostly in rye.

Is it illegal?
Yes, I can't think of a place where its legal off the top of my head, but I doubt it is anywhere.

The symptoms?
Opened and closed-eye hallucinations, euphoria, sound distortion, enhanced senses (often interchanging senses in the way that you can "feel the colors" instead of seeing the colors, etc...), enhanced appreciation of music, confusion, mood swings, mind-opening, feelings of connectedness with other users and with the universe, world, and nature, among many others...

Is it addictive?
Not at all

Is it bad?
Only a handful of deaths have been attributed to LSD, now I can't really promote the drug, but I guess I can't say its bad for you. It has very low toxicity so it leaves your body within around 3 days of consumption. This makes it so its hard to build tolerance, even though if used repeatedly consecutive days may bring you to use a double dose each time to be able to get desired effects, but yet again, there's no such thing as OD of LSD. Not addictive at all, even though its a really enjoyable and really mind-opening experience, once its done you don't feel the urge of having to do it again...

It comes in form of absorbent stamps, which contain a drop (or several) of LSD solution. Sometimes instead of stamps you might find it as sugar cubes and VERY RARELY in crystal form, but that's when it is 100% LSD.

Hope I helped you answer your questions, if you have others, let me know!

Lsd can also cause you to be in a never ending trip that no one of anything can pull you out of and you'll be like that till you die.

[tttttt]

ANY drug (including LSD) can be addictive, sometimes it's just psychological rather than physical

Not true, you can have a psychosis attack during your trip but that's if you're nervous about it and not psychologically prepared for it, or if you have history of mental disorders. As long as you take a regular dose, around 50 ug - 150 ug you should be fine, trip will last 8 hours and not forever. The only one time that my cousin had a trip longer than that it was for 53 hours and it was because they gave him 25i, a research chemical instead of LSD, and that's when the danger of not knowing what you're taking comes from.
If the trip is not enjoyable, or you want to abort it you can always use a certain over the counter medicine... I don't remember the name right now but I'll look into it.

LSD has no history of addiction. Acid has actually helped people get over their addictions such as alcohol. Before it became illegal the government conducted a study on alcoholics. Out of around 1000 subjects, 60% were able to overcome their addiction to alcohol. I am actually pretty sure I can quit smoking cigarettes if I trip hard enough, which is what I plan on doing pretty soon. Sure, anything, can create a psychological dependency, but with LSD I see it hard... you go through so much you just crash... its an enjoyable experience, but its not something you wanna repeat over and over again for straight days, it would literally wore your brain out by the overload of emotions and feelings.

If your curiosity stems from an urge to try lsd, be careful. A lot of the times your typical down the street dealer won't be able to get his hands on pure lsd. Make sure you know who you're dealing with, otherwise you can get fucked over pretty hard.

Also another word of advice; to use lsd (or any hallucinogen for that matter) you need to be of sound mind. You can't be in an unsettling environment or anywhere that could possible make you paranoid. This could potentially ruin your trip, and bad trips suck. Be fully prepared before you use a hallucinogen, and be of age. Trying hallucinogens at too young of an age can have adverse affects in the future.

Didn't think the whole "popping your cherry" thing actually existed outside of my circle of friends. Good to know they didn't fuck me over for once when they advised me to take two hits on my first time.
Bad trips were the bane of my existence...

It's made from a bunch of chemicals, it does originate from a natural plant. But at the end process it's chemicals.

It's highly illegal.

Tripping, increased energy and heart rate

Some people get addicted to how they feel while using it, but its not really addictive like other drugs.

There have been cases of death after using the drug, but mostly from dehydration. It's a party drug, so party goers forget to stay hydrated from Lao the dancing they do. I'm dead serious btw

[MrMundane]

Portugal I believe is the only county it's legal in.

You would have to take about $3,000 worth of LSD for the dose to be deadly(there was an earlier post on this amounts per dose)

It is bad in larger quantities because of the high likelihood that your mind would not be able to take the stress.

There are no physically addictive qualities to LSD, that does not include phychological situations.

[southern-boy]

I have seen and talked to people that have done lsd and they said they "felt amazing colors around them" I didnt really understand what he meant by "felt" but it is something I wouls never do.

[lambo420]

They don't make acid anymore anyone who ever said they had it is bullshit this is 2013

False, 100% only ever believed decades ago during the Propaganda Era following the 60's.

False, no addictive property in LSD.

It is NOT a party drug most of the time (technically you can make anything a party drug, Marijuana and MDMA are the only real party drugs that are common, cocaine maybe as well)

Instead it is actually primarily used by New Age Spiritualists that are trying to attain a form of temporary enlightenment. LSD is far more than just the colors.

Believe me.... that is SO far from true.

Bro come down to the Olympic Center here in West Virginia and try telling that to them. I've seen people there who can't even move because they have been in a trip for years.

The LSD created by Albert Hoffman has no long-term "trips." It does change the way you think forever but it does not cause you to stay in a trip unless you "overdose" and take far too many tabs.

[Mynick]

I'm portuguese and i'm pretty sure it isn't legal. However there's another drug smiliar to LSD that is legal.

Look if you don't know what you are talking about just quit. To OD on lsd the average person would have to take around 4000 hits with in a couple of hours, that seems unlikely. And scientists have proven that lsd is just slightly easier to od on than marijuana.

[jayjay's toocool]

What is it made of? other things like death and other things
Is it illegal? No....Duh or else you would google it
The symptoms? High Af ....then other drugs and memory loss
Is it addictive? Nope.... Yes hecka
Is it bad? Depends on what you want

Lol there is a difference between OD'ing with potential fatality, and taking more than you should AKA OVER DOSING

The dose is how much you should take and they went OVER that. Get it....

Just because it is common terminology to say "Oh man, that guy OD'd" as to why he died, does not make the phrase correct. If you go over the dose (which is very small for LSD) then you have indeed over-dosed.

I'm not saying your going to die. Please learn what the two words "over" and "dose" mean before criticizing things that I say.

He definition of the word dose is the quantity of something taken at a particular time. So of you take on drop and quit that would be considered one dose, same goes for if you take 50 drops at once, it's still

Just because you ibuprofen bottle says only take two at a time if you take 5 it's still only one dose.

dose (ds)
n.
1.
a. A specified quantity of a therapeutic agent, such as a drug or medicine, prescribed to be taken at one time or at stated intervals.
b. The amount of radiation administered as therapy to a given site.

A specific "quantity" of medicine, LSD is a form of medicine and just like with pills a Doctor or Spiritual Teacher prescribes X amount of the substance as the dose to be taken.

Don't worry about it. It's bad news!

[Steven1]

Basically, LSD stands for Lysergic Acid Diethylamide. It is made out of many natural elements and is used as a recreational drug. It is not addictive, although is illegal. It is not known to cause any brain damage or anything, although can cause paranoia and anxiety. It also isn't very toxic for the size of the dose.

[shinodas]

best advice I could give you is don't do it alone
best experience would be doing it with another first timer, also for other reasons you want to have someone to bring you down to earth when you're going to fly off a building (who doesn't know those stories? most of them are not be true but believe me, some are)

and also, my dear friend wasnt very happy after he found out neighbours saw him streaking like a frenzy
so yeah, a friend could also save you an embarrassment ;)

[gaboflr]

When I tried it I was high for almost 6 hours.. trippy but you should do it in a concert or something like that-

You might have had an RC (research chemical). LSD trips last 8-12 hours.

[jen698]

just stay away from it its no good for you

[Dennis Chaney]

Well all I'm going to say is don't do it, one because you take a 50/50 chance of having a good or bad high, and trust me, you don't want to be this kind of high in a bad way for 12 hours... And two of my friends died while high on lsd because they thought they could do whatever they wanted because its dream like. And another is in a permanant trip.

12 hours? Woww

LSD is lysergic acid diethylamide, so it's made of lysergic acid diethylamide. :)

It is illegal in most countries.

It is not addictive. At all. Period. If people argue that it is addictive, hop on wikipedia and grab the list of studies proving otherwise. Yes, you can develop a psychological addiction to LSD. You can also develop a psychological addiction to mars bars. You could not possibly maintain an LSD addiction if you *wanted* to -- tolerance builds up spectacularly fast with regular use.

As for "is it bad", that's a difficult thing to quantify. It is not addictive, does not cause brain damage. There are potential side effects, as with any drug, and it isn't something you want to do if you're not of already sound mind. If you don't know what to expect, anxiety can be a problem, but research can help a lot with that.

The most dangerous thing about LSD (and indeed most common psychedelic drugs) is that it is illegal, and thus you run the risk of getting it from a shady dealer who doesn't give you what you actually asked for. It's not generally something you want to do alone, at least the first time you do it. Not knowing what to expect is the primary reason people have bad trips and end up terrified of psychedelics. Having someone there if you have an anxiety attack is a good idea. LSD is something that, if you do it, you should do it in a controlled setting. Especially good is a trip sitter who can make sure you don't do any silly stunts if you get anxious.

I certainly can't recommend that you use LSD. That's a decision that you have to make for yourself. Hop on google and do research. Weigh pros, cons, and remember that if you do choose to do it your biggest risk is not your health, it's getting caught with the substance!

Lsd can also cause you to be in a never ending trip that no one of anything can pull you out of and you'll be like that till you die.

Assuming anyone took this seriously, I doubt the author even did. It looks like an obvious joke to me. It's obviously not accurate, in any case.

[Anton]

What is it made of? DMT
Is it illegal? It was legal in the USA until 1965
The symptoms? Hallucinations, vomiting and nausea
Is it addictive? No
Is it bad? I don't think you can overdose. If you take too much though it could perma-fry you.

[Lofiel]

If you are under the age of 21, just don't. LSD is not a toy.

[Trukfit4lyfe]

I once took 1200 mics through my butthole all my friends looked like niggers. I freaked out. I do not recommend it.
