Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD)

Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) is a powerful hallucinogenic drug that alters perception, mood, and thought processes. It works by affecting serotonin receptors in the brain, leading to visual and auditory distortions, changes in time perception, and emotional shifts. LSD is usually taken in small doses, often on blotter paper, and its effects can last 8-12 hours. While some users seek its mind-expanding experiences, it can also cause anxiety, paranoia, or unpredictable reactions. Due to its potent effects and legal restrictions, LSD is classified as a controlled substance in many countries.
