  4. What Is LSD? • LSD is one of the most potent mind-altering chemicals known. • LSD is a clear or white, odorless, water-soluble material synthesized from lysergic acid, a compound derived from a rye fungus • "blotter" form; small squares of paper which have been soaked in liquid LSD. It is also found as a liquid, microdot, sugar cubes, and gelatin squares • usually taken orally, its effects are highly variable and begin within one hour and generally last 8-12 hours • http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/lsd/lsd_faq.shtml#cautions

  5. All About LSD! • It was first synthesized in 1938 from lysergic acid derivatives. • Even though the pharmaceutical company studied the drug, they did not realize its potency until 5 years later • They started to notice a problem when a researcher accidentally absorbed a small amount through his hand and felt the powerful effects. • That same researcher had an LSD trip a few days later, • This sparked great interest in the drug.

  6. LSD in the Medical Field • breakthroughsin mental health treatment. • Wanted to be used as a Psychiatric Drug! • Used to replicate and study mental illnesses • Also used to enhance creativity & cure alcoholism

  7. How Can you take LSD • Most users swallow it with distilled water • To blotter LSD you can let the hit sit under your tongue until you start to trip. • The most common form of LSD is called "blotter acid" - sheets of paper soaked in LSD and perforated into 1/4-inch square • oral doses as small as 30 micrograms can produce effects that last 6 to 12 hours • LSD is initially produced in crystalline form. The pure crystal can be crushed to powder and mixed with binding agents to produce tablets known as "microdots" or thin squares of gelatin called "window panes”. • The solution may also be injected. The effect is identical with that of oral administration but sets in more rapidly • http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/lsd/lsd_faq.shtml#cautions

  8. Why Do We Do It? • The popularity of LSD lies behind its ‘mind-expanding’ nature. • Many users claim that their life in general has altered to great extent which they have used LSD. • In the initial hours of “tripping” the users see bright colors and feel prickly and restless. The peak begins after initial 3 hours. •  Tremendous visual delusions are experienced by the users. People say that vibrant colors are seen and surroundings feel to be in movement. • They also picture things that don’t exist at that place. Severe mental transformation occurs. The consumer sways from moments of intense insight to phases of dizziness.

  9. Coming Back For More! • There are no real withdrawal symptoms associated with LSD. • Rarely people use it to escape in a negative way.

  10. Side Effects! • LSD can cause some serious side effects such as, sweating, nervousness, jaw grinding and insomnia • The effects begin 20 minutes to two hours after ingestion. • Once started, the effects usually take between 30-45 minutes to reach their peak. • nausea is most commonly felt during this stage. • Your pupils will dilate and your body temperature rises. At the same time, your heart rate and blood pressure go up. • You will also experience sweating, and your mouth may feel dry. • You may also experience tremors as part of your experience. • Using acid can also affect your emotions.

  11. Hitting the Peak • Lasts from two to five hours. • Colors seem more vibrant. Surfaces may ripple and shimmer. You may notice tiny details on objects. Music sounds richer and louder. At the same time, you may feel blissful, have flashes of insight into yourself or the world, experience severe time-distortion, or feel yourself dissolving or see objects merging into one another. • Delusions are another effect of LSD use. A person who is delusional believes things that are not true, but these are not simply mistaken ideas.

  12. After Effects! • Physically you will feel tired and drained of energy right into the next day. • Also have problems sleeping

  13. BAD TRIPS • A person on LSD who becomes depressed, agitated, or confused may experience these feelings in an overwhelming manner that grows on itself. • The best solution is to remove disturbing influences, get to a safe, comforting environment. • Remind them that it will end in several hours. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txqiwrbYGrs&feature=related
