The health hazards of LSD are
unpredictable. The effects depend on the amount taken, the users personality,
and the surrounding it was taken in. The effects start to show after 30 to 90
minutes. Dilated pupils, high body temperature, the increase of blood and heart
rate, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, and a dry mouth, and tremors are some of
the symptoms of LSD. Sensations and feelings change more, and this is worse
than the physical symptoms!!! The emotions of the addict will “swing” from one
emotion to another. If the abuser a large dose, he/she will maybe see
hallucinations. Also, the users will lose their sense of time, and the feeling
about them changes. A frightening effect LSD causes is when the abuser’s
sensations “cross-over”. When the user begins to “hear” color”, and “see” sound
they’re having a sensation “cross-over. There are many other terrifying
thoughts. At some point, the addict starts to experience severe thoughts and
feelings. The fear of insanity, the fear of insanity, the fear of death, the
fear of losing control, and the feeling of despair. The abuser also encounters
flashbacks. The flashbacks come suddenly, and it replays an aspect of the
person’s life.
