LSD
Blotter paper substance
LSD is a powerful hallucinogenic drug that alters perception, mood, and thought.
The initialism stands for lysergic acid diethylamide, a synthetic compound derived from ergot fungus.
A dose is typically absorbed on a small square of paper placed on the tongue.
An LSD experience is called a trip, which can be euphoric or terrifying.
Also called acid.
