LSD effects
Trips, or hallucinations, start about an hour after taking LSD. People taking LSD can see sights and hear sounds that aren’t really there. They can feel wonderful and relaxed, or scared, anxious and paranoid.
People having trips can feel sick and vomit, and they can have seizures. They can also feel dizzy, have a racing pulse, breathe fast, have trouble seeing, or have chills and sweats.
A bad trip can involve terrifying hallucinations. People on a bad trip can misjudge dangerous situations and do things they would not normally do, like try to fly or try to kill themselves.
Trips can last up to 24 hours. Coming down from a trip takes a few days.
Some people who have used LSD can have flashbacks, and become dependent on the drug.
Using hallucinogens with ice, speed or ecstasy can lead to a stroke.
