Acid, or LSD, is a drug also known as blotter. This drug was actually introduced first commercially in 1947. It was supposed to be used for psychiatric purposes to assist patients with mental issues. It was also experimented with by the CIA in the 1950s to see if would be useful in mind control applications. But the plan backfired when young people got a hold of it for recreational use in the 1960s. Since then, LSD has become a popular street drug.
Acid can be found in a number of different formats ranging from liquid, to blotter paper (where some of the liquid is disbursed onto the paper), to pill form. It is usually ingested orally. People who use LSD will experience a range of side effects including heightened senses of sight, smell, and hearing as well as hallucinations. People who use LSD tend to be able to stay awake for very long periods of time, sometimes as long as twelve hours straight or much longer. A few side effects of acid include heart rate increase, shaking, numbness in the fingers and feet, excessive sweating, and paranoia.
When people take LSD, they call it "tripping" or going on a trip. This is because you become mentally unaware of the reality around you and instead experience very strange emotional and reactionary feelings. LSD is not considered to be an addictive drug, however people who enjoy using can take it quite frequently. Over time, they may have a difficult time coping with reality. Sometimes, people who use too much LSD can experience mental instability, emotional problems, and feelings of overwhelming fear. Some users can even become violent or hostile. While acid is a fun drug for many drug users, it can also be very dangerous and have a negative effect on the brain.
