LSD (Lysergic acid diethylamide) is a psychedelic drug that has many effects on the user. Here we will discuss briefly those effects and what they can do to the user. Studies show that LSD use is most often experimental or limited to a few uses. Research indicates that long term use of LSD is unlikely as well as uncommon. This is most likely due to the ill effects that users have from LSD.
Effects of LSD are:
Visual effects when eyes are both closed and open
Loss of sense of time (or distortion)
Fever
Hypothermia
High blood pressure
High blood sugar
Sweating
Pupil dilation
Sleeplessness
Tremors
Nausea
Weakness
Numbness
Hallucinations which vary from user to user and vary in each use
The psychological effects of LSD are mainly the hallucinations. Users have reported seeing bright colors, geometric shapes that "crawl", different visuals that look like waves or ripples, and more. Other effects are loss of sense of self (or as some describe "death of ego"), and morphing objects.
If the user of LSD is not in a relaxed, comfortable place with an open mindset they are more likely to have a "bad trip". There is no guarantee of what kind of experience someone will have when they use LSD but these factors have been shown to play a role in determining the kind of experience the user has.
If you or someone you love shows signs of LSD or drug abuse of any kind be sure to get help at a drug rehabilitation center as soon as possible. Drug addiction is very difficult to overcome and requires professional help.
