LSD

LSD can change how you see, feel, and think. One tab can last most of a day.

When effects often start
20–90 minutes
Typical duration
8–12 hours
Main risks
Panic, confusion, and injuries

Dose and timing

About 80 µg per tab was the average in one set of lab tests. Some tabs had far more. µg means micrograms. 1 mg equals 1,000 µg.

A scale weighs the paper too. Ask a drug-checking service if it can measure LSD on a tab. Effects can take up to 90 minutes to start. Don’t take more just because you feel nothing yet.

Check the tab

An Ehrlich reagent can give a clue about what’s on a tab. It can’t confirm LSD, measure strength, or rule out other drugs.

Help someone who’s scared

Stay with them, speak calmly, and move away from traffic or heights. Get emergency help if you can’t keep them safe. A history of psychosis can raise the risk of a severe reaction.
