Lysergic acid diethylamide

Lysergic acid diethylamide, commonly known as LSD, is a powerful hallucinogenic drug that alters perception, mood, and thought processes. It works primarily by affecting serotonin receptors in the brain, leading to visual and sensory distortions, hallucinations, and an altered sense of reality. LSD is chemically derived from a natural substance found in certain fungi. It is usually taken in small doses on paper tabs, and its effects can last several hours. Due to its strong psychological influence and unpredictable reactions, LSD is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance in many countries.
