LSD is a non addictive, hallucinogenic drug. Effects can last between 8 and 12 hours and once it has started you can not stop the effects.

LSD is a mind altering drug that affects the way that the user sees and hears things. Colours and sounds are intensified and often objects, time and movement can get distorted.

Users can sometimes feel panicky, anxious and scared.

Long term use can lead to depression, paranoia and flashbacks.

LSD use can trigger dormant mental illness.

Some people have been known to harm themselves during a bad ‘trip’.
