EFFECT |
The effects of LSD are unpredictable. They depend on the amount
taken; the user's personality, mood, and expectations; and the
surroundings in which the drug is used
|
Usually, the user feels the first effects of the drug 30 to 90
minutes after taking it. The physical effects include dilated
pupils, higher body temperature, increased heart rate and blood
pressure, sweating, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, dry mouth,
and tremors

All normal senses are subjected to severe
hallucination e.g. people that can "taste" sound. The drug
causes disturbing post-hallucinogenic distortions and flashbacks
