Forms of LSD

LSD (Lysergic Acid Diathylamide) is a psychoactive hallucinogenic drug that has over 80 street names. Among those LSD names are: LSD acid, trips, blotters, microdots, sugar cubes, hits, green dragon, red dragon, blue heaven, blue cheer, Big D, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, lime acid, black tabs, chocolate chip, peace tablets, paper acid, sugar lumps, brown dots, blue microdots and more.

LSD was actually thought to be safe in the 1930's. People enjoyed side effects like hallucinations that were colorful and vivid, enhanced creativity, mood elevation, a sense of insight and clarity. However, with the "positive" comes the negative side effects. These include: no depth or time perception, changes in sexual patterns, bad or scary trips, psychosis, schizophrenia, severe depression, delusions, and flashbacks. These hallucinations from LSD can last up to 12 hours and the flashbacks can haunt people for years and years after the use of the drug.

LSD is generally ingested orally. Most commonly sold in the form of blotter paper and sometimes coated on sugar cubes. However, it is made in a crystal form, liquid form, gelatin squares, capsules and rarely but sometimes in pill form.

The blotter paper has become popular because of the art that is put into the paper. The squares of paper are small. This method of ingestion takes about 15 to 30 minutes to take full effect where the user goes on a drug induced "trip". "Trips" can be good and some can be bad. The user never knows what they will get when they try to the drug.

If you or someone you know regularly uses LSD please get help at a drug rehabilitation center as soon as possible.
