LSD is one of the most potent mood-changing chemicals. It is manufactured from lysergic acid, which is found in the ergot fungus that grows on rye and other grains. It is produced in crystal form in illegal laboratories, mainly in the United States. These crystals are converted to a liquid for distribution. It is odorless, colorless and has a slightly bitter taste.
LSD users call an LSD experience a “trip,” typically lasting 12 hours or so. When things go wrong, which often happens, it is called a “bad trip,” another name for a living hell.
Popular street names for LSD include acid, battery acid, boomers, dots, golden dragon, hippie, loony toons, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, microdot, Pane, Superman, yellow sunshine and zen.
