About L.S.D
Commonly known as acid, LSD is a hallucinogenic drug, which means it changes the way the user sees things and can result in the user experiencing sights and sounds that don't exist.
When a person takes LSD, this is known as a 'trip'. A user won't know how intense a trip will be until they take a tab of LSD, and it can last up to 12 hours.
LSD is usually sold as little squares of paper with a picture on them, but it also comes in a liquid.
The risks
LSD can cause:
- Panic and confusion
- Mental health problems
- Flashbacks
The law
LSD is a Class A drug. It is illegal to have, give away or sell.
If you are caught in possession of LSD you could be sentenced to up to 7 years in jail.
Supplying LSD to someone else, including your friends, can get you a life sentence and/or an unlimited fine.
Think of the risks and consider the consequences!
