LSD effects can be unpredictable. How each person reacts to the drug is very different. It can depend on the persons personality, the location where the drug was taken, the persons weight and how much of the drug was taken in. In most cases however, the drug takes effect in 30 to 90 minutes.
With LSD drug use there are not as many physical indicators as there are sensory indicators. The emotions of the user may change suddenly and be very drastic. They may feel more than one emotion at once so strongly that they are overwhelmed with emotions. Because of how LSD effects the brain users have claimed to "hear colors" or "see sounds". This can cause extreme panic or anxiousness in the user because these are not senses that normally occur.
With the sensory indicators there can be physical indicators such as numbness, shaking, weakness, quick reflexes, increased heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, and impaired motor skills as well as dilated pupils. In some cases there will be vomiting, nausea, and possibly seizures. The most common outward physical sign is laughter, sometimes uncontrollable.
Users of LSD experience hallucinations and lose track of time, space and reason. The effects of these things can last for up to 12 hours. Most users will say that it is not all positive which may be why many LSD users stop using the drug on their own. They come to the realization that the negative effects of how the drug makes them feel are not worth going for. LSD is one drug that while there can be an addiction to the sensations, there is not a chemical dependency. Regardless, any drug abuse has long term effects that warrant getting the user help immediately. Drug rehabilitation centers are the right place for anyone trying to overcome drug use.
