The primary concern with LSD is that those who take it lose touch with reality and may behave in ways that put them at risk of being harmed because they have distorted beliefs about the fundamentals of the world (e.g., may think they can fly, so jump off a building) I'm pretty sure LSD also kills a pretty good whack of brain cells... although most people can spare them.
Unless you injure yourself somehow, the health risks are very low. The mental health issues, however, can include triggering of psychotic episodes and traumatic flashbacks (even when "off" the drug).
These things don't happen very often, so LSD has gotten the rep for being a benign drug. The folks who have experienced the side effects, however, rarely seem to think so.
Users of LSD may experience some physiological effects, such as:
LSD causes problems relating to social status. It does not always involve the drug itself, but the culture behind it and your relationships with your friends. A substance does not have to be harmful itself to cause problems.
While some users gain psychological benefits from taking LSD and other psychedelics, there are some users who have persisting negative effects on their mental health. The likelihood of these effects increases when taken in a stressful/negative environment, when taken frequently and/or in high doses, and when used irresponsibly (i.e. just looking for a 'high' without understanding the effects of the drug).
The negative psychological effects resulting from LSD use can include anxiety, paranoia, depression/despair, apathy, mania, hypomania and changes in personality. More rarely, schizophrenia-type symptoms appear, including delusions, hallucinations, etc.
While the conclusion isn't unanimous, it appears that LSD causes these psychotic effects only in users with preexisting/latent psychotic disorders. It also seems that individuals with other mental health issues such as depression, Bipolar disorder, anxiety, etc. are more likely to experience psychological harm from LSD, and thus individuals with these conditions should be very careful when using this substance and other psychedelics.
As previously noted, LSD can have beneficial effects and has also been used therapeutically to treat addiction, depression and similar mental conditions. Thus, the results may vary from person to person. However, if used recklessly and without preparation, the risk of psychological harm is greatly increased.
LSD is a Schedule 1 drug according to the DEA. Because it is illegal, users risk prison-time for possession of LSD.
There are no negative psychological effects of homosexuality anywhere.
LSD (assuming it is actually LSD and not another drug like DOM) is very unlikely to cause any physical harm (except from accidents/self-harm while on the drug), though it can negative psychological effects, with the incidence of this harm increasing with increasing doses and frequency of use.
The only addiction LSD can cause is psychological addiction, and even this is unusual.
An overdose of LSD substantial enough to cause life-threatening physical symptoms is thousands of times the recreational dose, and therefore is not typically a risk to the average user. However, LSD may certainly cause frightening psychological effects and a risk for dangerous behavior when ingested in excess.
LSD has effects on all people and animals
Red can increase heart rate and blood pressure, evoking emotions such as passion and excitement. Blue is often associated with feelings of calmness and tranquility, promoting relaxation and reducing stress. Yellow is linked to increased energy levels and feelings of happiness, making it a popular choice in areas where productivity or positivity is desired.
No, if anything, LSD would effect the effects of cigarettes. when ever I did LSD, I seemed to chain smoke and i never could get enough nicotine.
Long-term psychological effects of LSD can include flashbacks, persistent anxiety, and changes in perception. Some individuals may also experience depersonalization or derealization after using LSD. It's important to note that these effects can vary greatly from person to person.
The chemical in LSD responsible for the psychedelic effects is LSD itself, lysergic acid diethylamide.
LSD has very little to no chance of producing psychological dependence. Nearly all psychedelics are resistant to psychological dependence due to the nature of the experience (i.e you would be greatly aware of any compulsive or addictive behavior and would stop). LSD has in fact been used to treat other drug dependencies such as alcoholism.
LSD is a hallucinogen with no effects on the respritory system and there is no risk for resperitory depression. Combining LSD with methadone or other opiates is a relatively safe combination with little if no adverse effects
Some people claim milk lessens the effects of LSD, but this unproven. Even if milk did reduce the effects of LSD slightly, it certainly wouldn't end them completely.
