Lysergic acid diethylamide or LSD is also known as acid and it is considered the most powerful as well as the most popular psychedelic drug in the US. This drug belongs to ergoline family and most of the times its trips prove terribly bad and some times awesomely good. Disorientation of the sense of time, crawling and colored geometric patterns are considered some of its atypical psychological effects and for these very effects, it has become one of the most popular hallucinogen in the country. LSD is widely used as a leisure drug and for many it serves as a tool to complement different practices that include art projects, psychonautics and meditation.

LSD often causes tactile, aural and visual hallucinations, but terror and delusions are known as two impulsive effects of this drug. It can induce 10 to 12 hrs length trips and it is what which distinguishes it from other drugs.

Albert Hofman was the person who first synthesized LSD from a grain fungus that calls ergot and it often grows on a hard type of grass that calls rye.
If LSD is stored away from moisture and light, its potency can last even for years, but at the same time it is quite sensitive to chlorine, ultraviolet light and oxygen particularly when it’s in solution. Usually, it has no color or odor and feels somewhat bitter in taste in pure forms. The drug is delivered orally with a substrate that includes a sugar cube or a blotter paper as absorbent.

It is administered with intravenous or intramuscular injection in the liquid form, and its 20mg to 30mg dosage is considered the threshold level for causing a psychoactive effect on humans.

Sandoz Laborites first introduced LSD as a drug that had a large number of psychiatric uses, and it became tremendously popular as a therapeutic agent that seemed to show great promise.
