What LSD brand drugs look like, their action, effect

So, lsd 25, acid - what kind of drugs are these? People addicted to these drugs regularly come to the drug treatment center. What kind of substance do the brands contain? What is acid or lsd for drug addicts? We will answer these and many other questions later in the article.

Stamps as a drug are a powerful psychedelic that enters the addict’s body orally. The substance on the paper interacts with saliva and quite quickly enters the human circulatory system, penetrating all tissues of the body, including the brain. The drug begins its destructive effect on the central nervous system from the first minutes of use, irreversibly destroying millions of neurons.

Composition and formula

The meaning of LSD is N,N-lysergic acid diethylamide. The drug has several names: LSD-25, Delysid, Lysergide, as well as DLK and DLK-25. Formula C20H25N3O. The synthetic drug LSD can rightfully be considered one of the most famous hallucinogens and psychedelics in the world. Lysergic acid is an organic compound that forms the basis of LSD and is found naturally in ergot (a fungus on cereals).

Release form and medical use

Many people imagine what sublingual stamps look like, but the narcotic substance is also created in the form of tablets or capsules. Hallucinogens that affect the psyche quickly cause addiction, not only on a psychological, but also on a physical level. Lysergic acid can be both beneficial and harmful. The drug LSD was originally created for medical use to combat schizophrenia and other mental disorders. However, quite quickly it was experimentally proven that the new substance is ineffective against the disease, and also almost instantly causes drug addiction. Moreover, after the first use, mental deviations occur.

Harm of LSD

Is LSD harmful? The drug acid is one of the most dangerous substances on the planet, which changes consciousness and literally drives addicts crazy. People on LSD completely lose control of themselves and pose a threat to themselves and others.

In addition to using stamps, many addicts use the drug intravenously, which leads to their rather rapid death. Psychostimulants in the form of brands are not always consumed in full; quite often only a small part is enough to achieve a narcotic effect. When first used, the effect of acid can be quite scary, causing panic attacks and hallucinations in a person. It is important to understand that the concentration of the active substance is always different, in addition, there are different types of brands and acids, all of which carry the risk of overdose and drug poisoning. The taste of LSD varies depending on the composition applied to the paper base: sweet, bitter, tasteless.

Heavy drug addicts use several brands under the tongue at once; the drug can most often be found in nightclubs. The narcotic effect of brands is called an acid trip. The effect of the substance can last up to 12 hours. If a person was in a bad mood or depressed, he would most likely experience not pleasant and light enchanting sensations, but unreasonable fears, panic attacks, etc., which are called “bad trips” in drug slang.

What does the drug LSD look like, its appearance

LSD has many names: trip, report, acid, green dragon, pink elephant, acid, microdot, cartoons, brand, etc. This drug also has several forms of release. The most popular is paper. LSD stamps are paper with children's drawings
, soaked in the substance and cut into small squares.

In addition to stamps, there are also gelatin pyramids, which, after hardening, are also cut into small pieces. Less commonly, d-lysergic acid diethylamide is found in the form of capsules or microdot tablets.

What is the danger of brands?

Narcotic acid is a psychoactive substance from the lysergamide family that transforms human consciousness. The main danger of the substance is its short-term, but very powerful effect; the body receives a strong blow to all vital systems. In a state of altered consciousness, a person can behave inappropriately and cause harm to others or to himself, without realizing it at all.

Another feature of psychedelics is the occurrence of flashbacks - vivid memories of past events that a person experienced. The addict can be completely immersed in moments from the past and experience the emotions that possessed him then, again and again. Among the dangers of using brands, one can highlight the fact that they quickly become addictive. Then dependence develops into tolerance. To obtain a euphoric effect, the addict requires an increasingly large dose of the drug, which invariably leads to intoxication and overdose.

Why did brands become popular?

What is the reason for such a high popularity of a psychotropic drug? The substance LSD-25 was created back in 1938 by Swiss scientist Albert Hofmann. Number 25 did not arise by chance, since this is the serial number of a substance synthesized from lysergic acid. For the first time, the effect of LSD was felt by the chemist himself quite by accident during experiments. The effect of the substance interested him very much, and therefore the study of LSD continued. Experiments were carried out until 1950, when the drug Delysid began to be used in medicine. Initially it was planned to use it in the fight against schizophrenia, alcoholism, drug addiction and depression. At the same time, psychiatrists were obliged to use LSD in order to supposedly better understand patients. During the war years, LSD therapy was even created, during which doctors studied the effect of the brand on humans.

In the 60s, LSD was actively tested on people, and quite often these were medical students. However, soon the substance on which great bets were made found its way onto the streets, where it became one of the most dangerous drugs in the history of medicine and addiction medicine. Today, the substance and its derivatives are still actively used by drug addicts; the use of stamps has begun to acquire catastrophic proportions, despite the ban and the fight against the distribution and production of such narcotic substances.

LSD: A Brief History

Albert Hofmann, a chemist working for Sandoz Pharmaceutical, first synthesized LSD in Basel, Switzerland, while working on blood stimulants. However, the hallucinogenic properties of LSD were not known until 1943, when Hofmann accidentally took some LSD. It was later discovered that oral administration of such a small dose of 25 micrograms could cause vivid hallucinations.

Because LSD is similar in structure to some substances found in the brain and similar in its effects to some manifestations of psychosis, psychiatrists experimented with LSD in the 40s, 50s, and 60s of the last century. Although researchers found no practical medical benefit from its use, free samples provided by Sandoz Pharmaceutical became widely available, and widespread use of LSD began.

LSD was popularized in the '60s by people like Timothy Leary, who encouraged American students to "turn on, tune in, and drop out." This helped LSD spread from America to Britain and throughout Europe. Even now, the level of LSD use in the UK is significantly higher than in other countries in the world. While LSD was used in the 1960s to simply escape problems in society, Western intelligence agencies and militaries saw it as a potential chemical weapon. In 1951, they began conducting a series of experiments. Researchers in the USA about.

The number of LSD users gradually decreased during the 80s, but increased again in the 90s. Since 1998, LSD has been widely used in discos and nightclubs by teenagers and young adults.

International statisticians

In Europe, the highest levels of LSD use are found in the UK and Ireland.

In America, since 1975, researchers funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse have surveyed about 17,000 high school students across the country each year to identify drug use trends and students' attitudes and attitudes toward them. Between 1975 and 1997, the lowest rates of LSD use found in research came in 1986, when 7.2% of high school students said they had tried LSD at least once in their lives. The percentage of high school students who report using LSD at least once a year nearly doubled from 4.4% in 1985 to 8.4% in 1997.

By 2004, about 23.4 million Americans had tried LSD at least once by age 12. This represents 9.7% of this age group.

The effect of using LSD

What is the effect of the brand? Why do drug addicts use LSD? How does acid work?

It is quite difficult to predict what effect LSD will have on any given person. The fact is that the effect of the drug is quite individual and depends on many factors:

• dose taken;
• health conditions;
• mood at the time of use;
• mental state;
• environment.

The lsd brand begins to act within 20-30 minutes. There are both mental and physiological effects. Acid produces the following mental side effects: hallucinations, impaired perception of space and time, visions, including nightmares, euphoria, panic attacks, depression, psychosis, mood swings, hyperexcitability, loss of control over one’s actions, confusion of speech. Among the obvious physiological effects are a sharp change in body temperature to unnaturally high or low limits, lack of appetite, weight loss, dilated pupils, tremors, sweating, insomnia, dry mucous membranes.

How do people behave on LSD?

Among the consequences of regular use of LSD, one can highlight schizophrenia, since a person ceases to distinguish reality from hallucinations and is completely immersed in a drug trip and a world of illusions. Tactile sensations are greatly changed, distorted and exaggerated; such effects force the addict to take the drug again and again. The danger of systematic use is that a person under acid has absolutely no control over himself and can commit suicide even unconsciously by falling from a height or jumping onto the roadway.

The truth about LSD

Known by the names "acid", "marks" and many others, LSD is sold on the streets in small tablets, capsules or gelatinous squares. Sometimes absorbent paper with various small pictures is impregnated with it, which is then divided into small pieces.

Those who have used LSD call the experience a “trip,” which usually lasts about 12 hours. Negative reactions are called "bad trips" - an appropriate name to express the feeling of real hell.

Street names for the drug LSD: “acid”, “marks” and others

LSD is most often called an "acid". There are other street names: Lucy, Acid, Gemini, Cat, Superman, Malek, Microdot, White Lightning, Wizard, Green Dragon, Trip, Window Frame, Blotter, Zen. “At the age of sixteen I tried a drug that I then used for three years - LSD. I didn't know that LSD is the most powerful hallucinogen known to man. These were small pieces of paper, no larger than the phalanx of the index finger, we called them “stamps.” Within 15 minutes after the piece of paper was on my tongue, I became very hot and began to sweat. Other reactions I had while taking the drug were dilated pupils, nausea, and goose bumps. During the very peaks of the LSD high, I experienced a huge distortion of sensations in my body and in my head. The visual changes, as well as sudden changes in mood, were like a strange, frightening journey - at this time I felt that I could not control myself at all.” Andrey

What are the dangers of LSD?

It is impossible to predict what effects LSD will have. This depends on the amount taken, the person's mood and personal characteristics, and the environment in which the drug is used. The effects usually begin to be felt 30-90 minutes after administration. Pupils often dilate. Body temperature either rises or falls, while blood pressure and pulse either rise or fall.

Those who use this drug usually lose their appetite, suffer from insomnia, have a dry mouth and body tremors. The most common external manifestation is that a person begins to fixate on the intensity of certain colors.

There are also sudden mood swings from extraterrestrial “bliss” to the greatest horror. The worst thing about this is that a person who has taken LSD is unable to distinguish which sensations arise from the drug and which are real.

Some LSD users mistake the blissful state they experience for “nirvana.” And besides the fact that they escape the reality of life in this way, they begin to feel the need for more of the drug in order to experience the same sensations again.

Others, while taking LSD, have terrible, frightening thoughts and feelings, fear of losing control of themselves, that they will go crazy or die, and fall into despair. A “bad trip” usually doesn’t stop for 12 hours straight. In fact, some people never recover from LSD-induced psychosis. Even treatment doesn't help them.

Sufficiently large doses of LSD cause visions and visual hallucinations. The sense of time and internal sensations change greatly. The sizes and shapes of objects, movements and sounds are distorted. Even tactile and ordinary bodily sensations turn into something strange and bizarre. Sensations can “overlay each other”, so that a person in a state of drug intoxication seems to hear colors and see sounds. These sensations can cause panic.

The ability to make rational judgments and the sense of caution are reduced. A person on LSD may step out of a window to take a “closer look” at the earth. He may decide to “watch the sunset” while being completely unaware that he is standing in the middle of a busy roadway. Many who have taken LSD in the past experience flare-ups, or return of LSD “trips,” often without any warning signs.

Bad trips or flare-ups are just one of the dangers of taking LSD. Those who take LSD can fall into a fairly prolonged psychotic state, such as schizophrenia or major depression.

As LSD is deposited in the body, users have a higher threshold for tolerance to the drug. In other words, some of those who regularly use LSD are forced to constantly increase their doses in order to get high. This exacerbates the effects on a physiological level and increases the risk of “bad trips” that lead to psychosis. “At the age of 13, I started drinking, and then I tried marjuana. LSD came into my hands very quickly and I became an addict, eating it like candy. One day, while on a bender, I passed out. When I came to my senses, I discovered that my face was all smeared with blood, and vomit was flowing from my mouth. By some miracle I forced myself to regain consciousness and wash myself. I got into the car, I was shaking, and somehow I made it home. I crawled into bed with my mother and burst into tears. At the age of 21, I went to a rehabilitation center for the first time.” Daria

CRIMINAL LAWYER'S BLOG

LSD is a semi-synthetic drug based on lysergic acid. The criminal lawyer notes that the mechanism of action of LSD on the human body has not been scientifically disclosed enough. When taking this substance, a person’s perception of the world around them changes. In most cases, LSD has a hallucinogenic effect.

In the past, the drug was used as a medicinal product in the field of psychotherapy in many countries. This drug was used in the treatment of schizophrenia, neurosis, depression, amnesia, etc.

Many scientists indicate that LSD does not have a negative effect on the physical development of human health. However, it may aggravate or contribute to the occurrence of mental disorders. The reaction to this drug varies from person to person and can be unpredictable. In addition, LSD causes severe mental dependence.

On the territory of the Russian Federation and many other countries of the world, this substance is prohibited.

The criminal lawyer notes that LSD is on the first list of narcotic drugs, the circulation of which is completely prohibited in Russia. Drugs included in the first list pose an increased public danger to the country's population due to their strong and destructive effects on the human body.

Criminal liability for crimes related to the trafficking of this narcotic substance depends on the specific actions of the person and the amount of the prohibited drug. The Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation establishes different sizes for various narcotic and psychotropic substances (significant, large and especially large).

Thus, a significant size of LSD starts from 0.0001 g, large - from 0.005 g, especially large - from 0.1 g. For some crimes, criminal liability also arises in cases where the amount of the drug is less than significant.

Russian legislation provides for liability for illegal trafficking in LSD under Articles 228, 228.1, 229, 229.1, 231 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

The criminal lawyer notes that in practice, crimes under Art. 228 (purchase, storage, transportation and other actions without the purpose of sale) and Art. 228.1 (sales, forwarding).

A criminal lawyer explains that the punishment under Art. 228 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation with a significant amount of LSD starts from a fine to imprisonment (up to 3 years). For a large crime - imprisonment from 3 to 10 years, and for an especially large crime - imprisonment from 10 to 15 years.

Under Article 228.1 (sale) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, the punishment is much more severe, since the sale of narcotic drugs poses a greater public danger. If you sell a significant amount of LSD, you face imprisonment from 8 to 15 years, for a large amount - from 10 to 20, for a particularly large amount - from 15 to 20 years.

A fair punishment also depends on the defense tactics chosen by a criminal lawyer in criminal proceedings. Very often there are cases of incorrect classification of actions, accusatory bias and unlawful actions of law enforcement officers.

Each criminal case requires an individual approach.

A criminal lawyer has many years of experience in defending his clients against charges of crimes related to illegal trafficking in narcotic and psychotropic substances.

Judicial practice shows that earlier contact with a lawyer in criminal cases makes it possible to determine a legally competent strategy for defense against criminal prosecution at an early stage.
