Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD)

Lysergic acid diethylamide, commonly known as LSD or “acid,” is a potent synthetic psychedelic drug derived from ergot, a fungus that grows on rye and other grains. It is classified as a classic hallucinogen and is known for its profound ability to alter perception, thought, and emotion. It is typically active at microgram doses (millionths of a gram), making it one of the most potent mood-changing chemicals discovered.

Key Characteristics of LSD Sheets:

• Format: Sheets are usually larger pieces of paper (e.g., 5×5 or 10×10 grids) that are perforated for easy division into individual doses.

• Artwork: Blotter art is a recognized folk art form. Designs can range from abstract patterns and fractals to popular cartoon characters and iconic imagery. The art does not indicate the strength or purity of the LSD.

• Dosage: The potency of a single tab can vary dramatically, typically ranging from 50 to 200 micrograms (μg). There is no safe, standardized dose, and potency is impossible to judge by appearance alone.

• Administration: A tab is placed on or under the tongue, allowing the LSD to be absorbed sublingually.

Important Safety and Legal Information:

• Legal Status: The manufacture, distribution, sale, and possession of LSD are illegal under federal law in the U.S. and in most other nations. Engaging in these activities carries severe legal penalties, including lengthy prison sentences.

• Health Risks: LSD drastically alters perception, mood, and cognitive processes. Effects are unpredictable and depend on the user’s mental state, environment, and the dose.

• Potential Risks Include:

  • “Bad Trip”: Intense anxiety, paranoia, confusion, and terrifying thoughts.

  • Psychological Distress: Can exacerbate underlying mental health conditions like schizophrenia or psychosis.

  • Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder (HPPD): Recurring visual disturbances long after use has stopped.

  • Impaired Judgment: Leads to risky behaviors and potential for accidental injury.

• Harm Reduction Disclaimer: If an individual chooses to use despite the risks, harm reduction practices are critical. Always test substances with a validated reagent testing kit from a trusted source to check for the presence of LSD and rule out dangerous adulterants like NBOMe compounds. Never use alone; have a trusted, sober sitter present. Ensure you are in a safe, comfortable, and familiar setting (“set and setting”).
