that must be!

~Effects~

What are the Dangers? Hallucinations, health issues, and, a trip to the hospital, oh my! An LSD User may see snow in July, peel themselves because they think they are an orange, believe they can fly… even though they may be off in their own world, there is a point of no return, which is a peril, hurting themselves and others; whether a pleasure or a terror. It is a treacherously example of a drug, with high chances of aggressive behavior when experiencing a wicked trip, distorting their thoughts thinking innocent people are threats. Here is a real description of a user…

What are the Dangers?

"After taking the acid, I imagined that we had driven head-on into an eighteen-wheeler and were killed. I could hear the screeching metal, then a dark and evil quiet. I was terrified at this point; I actually thought we were dead...For a year I wouldn’t go into any cemetery because I was terrified I would find my own grave.”
