LSD (Lysergic acid
diethylamide)
Stimulating one of the
neurotransmitters in the brain, serotonin, LSD produces
hallucinations dissociating the user from reality. Users
often report having the ability to see and hear things
without stimulus. "Synesthesia" is another effect,
causing the user to hear matter that is only visibly
perceptive such as hearing colors or associating odor to
audible sounds such as "smelling
voices."
LSD is often concealed in blotting paper and
cut into designer square pieces, the drug is absorbed
via the skin or oral tissue. Each square piece
represents a single dose which costs $5-7 each.
In Indiana, LSD is predominately sold and
consumed by males between ages 18-35. However, younger
cohorts are experimenting with the drug as access
increases. According to the National Survey on Drug Use
and Health, 9.7 percent of Americans aged 12 and older
reported using LSD once in their lives.
