LSD is a member of the pharmacological group known as “classical hallucinogens” or “psychedelics”. These compounds all have a chemical structure similar enough to the neurotransmitter serotonin that they can bind with serotonin (5HT) receptors in the brain, which (among other brain interactions) causes their consciousness-altering effects.

LSD is one of the more potent classical psychedelics, and also has a longer duration than most other psychedelics. Effects can include visual hallucination/distortion, euphoria, synesthesia (the mixing of senses) and a sense of connection to those around you or the universe as a whole.

Duration: 8 -12 hours
