Risks associated with LSD and possible consequences
Psychological problems
LSD users can have a negative experience commonly known as a “bad trip.” This may happen when the user begins to panic and no longer wishes to feel the effects of the drug. A person in such a state should not be left alone.
The initial effects of LSD are followed by an often unpleasant period commonly known as “down.” The following effects may occur:
Anxiety
Panic
Paranoia
Fear
Consequences associated with safety and law
Drug possession is illegal. Simply possessing a small quantity can lead to fines and a criminal record. These consequences also apply to people younger than 18. To learn more, consult the Éducaloi website .
