• LSD can have a powerful, often unpredictable effect on the mind.
• It can take up to one hour to kick in.
• Users may experience their surroundings in a very different way, including the distortion of objects, movement, vision and hearing.
• Hallucinations are also common. The effects are commonly known as a 'trip', and may last for 8 to 12 hours. Much depends on the strength of the drug, the user's mood, their location and surroundings.
• Some users experience flashbacks of past 'trips' for a long time afterwards. Users experience different trips every time.
  

  Health Hazards

  Physical Psychological short-term effects. The effects of LSD are unpredictable. They depend on the amount taken; the user's personality, mood, and expectations; and the surroundings in which the drug is used. Usually, the user feels the first effects of the drug 30 to 90 minutes after taking it. The physical effects include dilated pupils, higher body temperature, increased heart rate and blood pressure, sweating, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, dry mouth, and tremors.

  Sensations and feelings change much more dramatically than the physical signs. The user may feel several different emotions at once or swing rapidly from one emotion to another. If taken in a large enough dose, the drug produces delusions and visual hallucinations. The user's sense of time and self changes. Sensations may seem to "cross over," giving the user the feeling of hearing colors and seeing sounds. These changes can be frightening and can cause panic.

  LSD trips are long - typically they begin to clear after about 12 hours. Some users experience severe, terrifying thoughts and feelings, fear of losing control, fear of insanity and death, and despair while using LSD. In some cases, fatal accidents have occurred during states of LSD intoxication.

  Flashbacks. Many LSD users experience flashbacks, recurrence of certain aspects of a person's experience, without the user having taken the drug again. A flashback occurs suddenly, often without warning, and may occur within a few days or more than a year after LSD use. Flashbacks usually occur in people who use hallucinogens chronically or have an underlying personality problem; however, otherwise healthy people who use LSD occasionally may also have flashbacks. Bad trips and flashbacks are only part of the risks of LSD use. LSD users may manifest relatively long-lasting psychoses, such as schizophrenia or severe depression. It is difficult to determine the extent and mechanism of the LSD involvement in these illnesses

  
  The Risks:
  
  

• Once the trip starts, there's no way of stopping it until the effects subside.
• Bad trips can be terrifying, and seem very real.
• Dizziness, disorientation, fear, paranoia, and panic may arise.
• The likelihood of a bad trip will increase when users are in a bad mood, anxious, nervous, uncomfortable or have a history of mental problems.
• A bad trip can make users feel very threatened and shaken for a long time afterwards.
• Accidents may happen while users are hallucinating.
• LSD can complicate existing psychological problems such as depression, anxiety and schizophrenia.
  
  The Law:
  
  
• LSD and other hallucinogens are Class A drugs.
• It is illegal to reproduce, supply or possess these drugs except under a special office licence.
• It is also an offence to allow premises to be used for production or supply.
  
  If you are planning on taking this drug:
  
  
• As hallucinogens tend to enhance and amplify our feelings, taking LSD when you're in a bad mood is unlikely to result in a 'good' experience. However being in a good mood does not guarantee a good trip.
• If you're with a friend who's used LSD and is having a bad time you could help by being there to listen to them. Remind them they've used LSD (they might have forgotten), and that they are tripping. Help them to talk if they want to, but don't constantly question them as this will just make them paranoid. If it's possible, change your environment, go for a walk or change the music.
