Depends on how much you take!. In high school I tool LSD 3 times a week but never more then 2 hits at a time!. Mostly just one hit!. I suffered no ill effects!. On the other hand I have met quite a few people who are mind warped!. They usually took way too many or someone tricked them into taking way too many at once!. Becareful with that stuff!. Never except a drink from anyone that is already opened!. You can be as careful as possible but if some idiot drops a bunch in your drink thinking its funny then you will never be the same again!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Good question!. I think what it does long term is similar to X, prolonged use causes the brain to stop producing its own endorphins and sundry neuro xmitters since they are being generated artificially!. This can result in chronic unipolar depression!.!.!.!.a bad thing!. I'd guess that actual psychotic breaks are rare though!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

LSD's psychological effects vary!. Beginning in the first hour after ingestion, and continuing for the duration of the "trip", the user may experience changes in visual perception and a change in mood!. The user may also suffer impaired depth and time perception, with distorted perception of the size and shape of objects, movements, color, sound, touch and the user's own body image!. The change in time perception may lead a user to sit or lie in awkward positions for an extended period of time, resulting in muscle cramps and soreness that are often mistakenly attributed to the action of the LSD itself!. The user may experience a great variability in ability to focus on ideas and external stimuli!.

LSD's psychological effects normally last at least 8 hours, and the effects of higher doses last for 10 to 12 hours!. It is typical for a user of LSD to be unable to sleep restfully until at least 12 hours or more have passed, and they do not feel completely "back to normal" until after getting one or two full nights of restful sleep, although they will exhibit no outward signs of impairment after the drug has worn off!.

While LSD is generally considered nontoxic, dangers can arise from bad judgments made during the experience!. As with many drugs, while under the influence of LSD the ability to make sensible judgments and understand common dangers can be impaired, making the user susceptible to personal injury!. If the user attempts to drive a car or operate machinery, their impaired state can lead to accidents and injury!. An LSD trip can have lasting psychoemotional effects of neutral, negative and positive variety!. If repeated or taken in large doses, it can induce "psychotic" states such as egolessness and catatonia!.

There is also a commonly reported risk of "flashbacks", a psychological phenomenon in which an individual experiences an episode of some of the subjective effects of LSD (this may be a positive or negative experience) long after the drug has been consumed and worn off -- sometimes weeks or months afterward!. But despite claims that flashbacks are common, studies have shown that these experiences are relatively rare!.

Debate continues over the nature and causes of flashbacks!. Some say flashbacks are a manifestation of post-traumatic stress disorder, not directly related to LSD's mechanism, and varying according to the susceptibility of the individual to the disorder; while others argue that flashbacks are the result of trace amounts of LSD or related chemicals being released into the body after having been stored in fat or spinal fluid cells, and that there is a clear link between flashback incidences and a history of LSD consumption!. Most such debate is carried out with only anecdotal evidence and is not supported by scientific research!. Drug studies have not confirmed that LSD can cause flashbacks or lasting psychoses, according to a meta-study one can read at maps!.org (see the link at the end of this article)!.

It is common for users to experience permanent or long-lasting changes in their life perspective!. LSD is also considered an "entheogen", and can catalyze intense spiritual experiences where users feel they have come into contact with a greater spiritual order!. Such mystical experiences under the influence of LSD have been observed and documented by researchers like Stanislav Grof!. LSD experiences can be indescribably ecstatic as well as hellishly difficult; many difficult experiences (or "bad trips") result from a panicked user feeling that they have been permanently severed from Reality and the Ego!.

LSD is not addictive in that its users do not exhibit the medical community's commonly accepted definitions of addiction and physical dependence (see the link at the end of this article)!. LSD users do, however, exhibit tolerance; LSD's effects diminish with frequent, repeated use, especially over short periods of time!. This tolerance passes after only a few days' abstention from use!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
