Albert Hofmann, working at Sandoz, a Swiss pharmaceutical company, produced LSD for the first time in 1938. He was hoping that it could be used to stimulate circulation and respiration, though this idea failed. Hofmann forgot about the new found drug, and didn’t use it for five years. In 1943 he accidentally ingested LSD and experienced some effects of the drug, such as visual distortion, dizziness and restlessness. He experienced the drug again, though this time not on accident. Forms of LSD LSD can come in many different forms. Three more common forms are paper blotter, liquid, & gelatin. Paper blotter, the most common form of all, comes divided into ¼" squares called tabs. These tabs usually have between 30 - 100 ug of LSD. These papers are made by taking a sheet of absorbent paper, usually decorated, and soaking it with a dilution of LSD. All the dilutions are not the same, for the can vary greatly from batch to batch, LSD 2 and there is no way of telling exactly how much LSD is on it. Liquid LSD is usually water based, though it can be based with other solvents. A single drop of liquid LSD could be up to 50 times stronger the regular paper blotter because it is more than the normal dose. It is not all that common for people to sell liquid LSD because there is no way to be sure of it’s potency. It is usually stored in small dropper bottles. Gelatin LSD, also known as "window panes", is made by mixing liquid LSD with gelatin. It has to be formed into small, thin squares after that. A single gelatin tab usually has around 50 - 150 ug of LSD. This method of making LSD is generally better because it protects the LSD from being exposed to the air and sun, which can break down the drug. Cost of LSD When LSD is sold as paper blotter, the price usually ranges from 3 - 10 dollars per hit, though it can be more expensive depending on where it is sold. Being sold from friend to friend it is usually less, but places such as raves will sell it for more. Less common LSD will go for more money then blotter paper will. It’s price is around 8-10 dollars per hit. If you by LSD in bulk, such as sheets of blotter paper, it is always less per hit, ranging from 1-2 dollars per hit. LSD 3 Use of LSD LSD is most commonly ingested orally. With both paper blotter and gelatin, the LSD is placed in the user’s mouth, the chewed or swallowed. When using liquid LSD it can be put on the tongue and swallowed, or put directly in the eye. Physical Effects LSD is said to disrupt the way seratonin, the chemical in the brain that enables electrical messages, is used by the brain. It distorts the messages, most visual, and causes one on LSD to "see things". Changes such as slight rise in body temperature and heart rate, and dilated pupils are all due to LSD when on the drug. When taking LSD you also LSD 6 Works Cited “Facts about LSD” http://www.arf.org/isd/pim/lsd.html (4 May 2000) “L.S.D.” http://www.brookes.ac.uk/health/libra/lsd.html (3 May 2000) Erowid “Erowid LSD vault” http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/lsd/ (3 May 2000) “LSD” http://members.aol.com/rscottlcsw/lsd.htm (3 May 2000) LSD http://www.mninter.net/~publish/lsd.htm (4 May 2000) DEA-Publication: LSD in the United States http://www.mninter.net/~publish/lsd2.htm (4 May 2000) “Lysergic Acid Diethylamide” (LSD) Illegal LSD Production http://www.mninter.net/~publish/lsd3.htm (4 May 2000) LSD 7 “Lysergic Acid Diethylamide” (LSD) http://www.mninter.net/~publish/lsd5.htm (4 May 2000) “Lysergic Acid Diethylamide” (LSD) http://www.mninter.net/~publish/lsd7.htm (4 May 2000) Terrill, James “The Nature of the LSD Experience” http://www.psychedelic-library.org/terrill.html (4 May 2000) “Neuroscience Resources fir Kids – LSD” http://www.soton.ac.uk/~jrc3/chudler/lsd.html (4 May 2000) feel a tingling sensation in your fingers and toes, chills and goose bumps, and facial flushing Feeling nauseated, weak, dizzy and intense anxiety is very common when experiencing LSD. It can also effect blood pressure, blood sugar, and amount of salvation. LSD 4 Mental and other effects Visual images and hallucinations are very common with LSD. If taking too much of the drug, these visuals can become too extreme or overpowering, cause one on the drug to want to stop the drug, which is not possible. With a normal amount of LSD in one’s body, the visuals are intense colors and flashes of lights. Tracers are also common. Emotions range from various different states. Some feel content, others disturbed, confused, or even afraid. There is distortion in time, distance, and gravity. Feeling all senses at once, fusion, is common, such as music being “seen” of objects being “heard”. A person on LSD does not have any control over their thought process. Though most people enjoy their experience with LSD, there are those who can have an extremely unpleasant experience, called a “bad trip”. One who is having a bad trip can experience feeling such as fear, anxiety, and depression. They can feel as there is no reality, that they have no identity, and that they are melting into nothingness. There are some long-term effects of LSD, the main one being flashbacks. This is when a person, who is not on LSD at that time, experiences what he would be feeling if he were on the drug. Flashbacks can occur days, weeks, months, even a year after the drug was last taken. They usually only last a couple of minutes, and are distortion of images and vivid colors. LSD 5 Tolerance and dependence of LSD There is no physical dependence on LSD. A user will not experience withdrawal after quitting the drug. One can develop a psychological dependence though, if one is a regular user. The need to keep taking the drug becomes a compulsion. Tolerances to LSD’s effects develop rapidly. A larger amount of LSD is required to produce the effects desired. When one takes LSD a few days in a row, it’s almost impossible to get the “normal” effects the drug usually provides. One who builds up a tolerance to LSD also has to take more of the lesser hallucinogens the get the effects. LSD and the Law LSD is illegal. It is a schedule 1 drug, meaning that it has no medical use. To the law, LSD was names a Class A drug, along with cocaine and heroin, due to the Misuse of Drugs Act of 1971. Police can charge a person with possession of LSD, with intent to sell, or give away free. |
