According to LSD history, LSD was actually developed in 1938 for legitimate use. It was made as a Schedule 1 drug. Schedule 1 drugs are highly addictive and have no medical use. These are not sold in pharmacies. The use of the drug was intended for very rare use, possibly as infrequently as once or twice per year.
LSD is known for it's effect on the mind. Even for people that have only used the drug once there can be "flashback" episodes in some but not all users. These flashbacks are more common in people under stress.
LSD has a wide variety of forms: tablets, capsules, gelatin shapes, liquid, on sugar cubes, or absorbent paper. It is widely abused in arenas such as nightclubs, raves and concerts. Street names for LSD include names such as acid, big D, blue acid, Cid, L, lime acid and LSD.
A 2004 National Survey on Drug Use and Health and the Monitoring the Future Survey from 2005 let us know that the widest use of the drug is among the 18-25 age group. Although use is on the rise in 8th and 10th grade. According to LSD statistics, LSD usage trends seem to have upward and downward trends from year to year.
LSD can be found in specialized urine drug tests for 24 to 36 hours after a dose of 200 to 400 mg. A typical dose is much less than this making it much harder to detect.
